After The Rain project is a first time of sorts for me – as a self-published artist and author – and talking about a subject close to my heart, which is the islands I grew up on. I also document the changes I’ve observed on our simple little paradise due to pollution in the waterways.

I witnessed Ngeruk during a trance ceremony in Bali, which is a self-stabbing ritual performed by the local Hindu devotees to express their gratitude to the Gods. It was nothing short of eerie and magical. Despite the appearance of horror, the ceremony made me understand about the balance between my inner light and darkness a lot better.

Yesterday I decided to have lunch at Borough Market. It was re-opened again for the first time after the Saturday evening attack last week.
