Erased Places

Erased Memory

 

 

about a place in the middle of Jakarta, where i used to live here since a toddler until teen ages. a kampong where my grand mother house ever stood from 70's year. 

 

due to strategic places, this area become targeted by one of bigges property developer in Indonesia. the land price become very high. thats why peoples who have houses and land sold it to the developer. including my grand mother. the houses that already bought will destroyed by the developer. but some people still hold their houses, wait for more higher price. some my neighbour houses had lose and some still remain. it made this kampong become such a ghost town to me.
