    • Hi R..thanks for dropping a line :-)
      Those are houses (and I suppose it’s also their Home) of my good friends -and you know Javanese see good friends as family; it is to say that it’s not only that I’m not a stranger to them, but also that they and I have good relation(ship). I think issues like intimacy, trust and warmth, among many other things, are to be sought for in such work: the presence and/or the absence of it.
