Konco Wingking — meaning "a companion from behind" — reflects the traditional role of Indonesian women supporting men within the home. While women’s roles have grown more visible and diverse, many still navigate inherited expectations, quietly shaping their households through emotional labour, financial care, and everyday decisions. This portrait, taken in London in 2025, features Tara, a close friend and flatmate. The contrast between her hijab and her husband’s coat symbolizes identity, transition, and the quiet strength women carry in holding families and communities together. It captures the delicate balance between tradition and individuality, reflecting the subtle power of presence, resilience, and evolving roles.
