Home is Kuala Lumpur. The weekends and short trips reach Hanoi, Melaka, Penang, and back to Indonesia.

Watch the filmAbout
I'm Iko, an Indonesian living in Kuala Lumpur. I photograph and film the small, warm parts of an ordinary day.
Most walks start with coffee: a corner café in Petaling Jaya, a bakery in Melaka, an iced coffee in Hanoi's Old Quarter. Then a market, a park, a bookstore, and whatever smells good on the way home.
The films live on YouTube. The quieter frames live on Instagram and Threads.
