HATI | RUMAH TUA
A healing journey through image, memory,
and heritage
HATI | RUMAH TUA - A photobook, close to my heart and my Moluccan roots.
An ode to our roots, stories and ancestors
HATI | RUMAH TUA is a deeply personal photography and storytelling project exploring identity, family history and the meaning of belonging.
At the heart of this photobook are 32 Moluccan families. Third- and fourth-generation Moluccans have been portrayed in their rumah tua: their ancestral family home, a place where memories are cherished, stories are passed down and generations remain connected.
The project was born after I was diagnosed with lymphoma in 2021. This life-changing experience brought me closer to my Moluccan roots and family history. What began as a personal journey of healing gradually evolved into a broader exploration of heritage, connection and the importance of preserving our stories.
HATI | RUMAH TUA is a tribute to our ancestors, to the generations who came before us and to the stories that deserve to be remembered
The photobook
On October 18, 2026, HATI | RUMAH TUA was officially launched at Podium Mozaïek in Amsterdam.
The result is a thoughtfully designed 472-page photobook bringing together photography, personal narratives and history. A tangible record that invites us to reflect on where we come from, what we carry with us and what we wish to pass on to future generations.
A book to cherish, share and pass down.
