Feeling Senang
Like any family, my family is unique. Now three generations of immigrants, they arrived in the Netherlands from Indonesia in the early 1960ʼs. They brought with them a colonial history and all the habits that come with that. Passing along these cultural traditions to later generations, they have almost become celebrations of their identity. The Indo-European identity is becoming increasingly diluted because of the success of integration, the Indo-European habits that were passed on have become so ingrained they are almost not recognised as such. However, they are still there, influencing the identity of later generations. Itʼs not until you stop and look at it that you realise it. Ultimately, this project is a self portrait. What started as a documentation of a family between 2 cultures has become a search for identity. For the first time in my life I feel I understand my identity, my true identity. I accept I am a product of my family and their behavioural patterns, fuelled by a colonial history and multiple cultures. I am Indo, I am Dutch and I am my family. And it makes me feel senang (happy, relaxed), more so than ever before.
