For Angga who grew up in Jakarta, the activity of wrapping rice in food stalls has become a core memory and a tie-in to talk about many things. To him, wrapped rice is very close as a metaphor for the urban living space and the middle- to lower-class people packed together and having to do anything in tight spaces to survive in it. Wrapping rice in food stalls is more than just dexterity, but linked to self-representation and soul reflection. Wrapping rice is an endless training, where someone hones inner tranquility while demanding neatness, swiftness, and effectivity. Beyond an external metaphor, the wrap itself is a metaphor for the human continuously fixing within. This work explores a familiar activity that contains unique movement vocabulary bringing a complex reflection on self, soul, and its living space.
