ᝰ THE STORY
Countless journeys have unfolded across Indonesia, each one marked by fleeting encounters and unexpected moments along the road. But this particular scene, captured on the way to Blitar in East Java, remains one of the most challenging and thrilling to frame.
A lone woman pedaled steadily along the roadside, her bicycle burdened with towering wicker baskets, an image impossible to ignore. The chase began. Each attempt to capture the moment was met with obstacles—the unpredictable flow of traffic, the rough asphalt, the constant start and stop. Overtaking, pausing, composing the shot—each frame fell short. And then, just as another attempt was about to be made, she suddenly veered left, vanishing into the maze of narrow alleys.
The search wasn’t over. Doubling back, scanning the quiet pathways, she reappeared—unaware of the silent pursuit that had unfolded over the last half hour. Now free from the rush of passing vehicles, she pedaled through a small alleyway, her movements effortless, steady, undisturbed. The engine went silent. The final shot had to be taken on foot. A call. A pause. A moment shared.
A gentle laugh followed, the kind that revealed uncertainty yet warmth. At 75, she was a widow living with her daughter, making the same journey every day to the big market, where these handcrafted baskets were easier to sell. The round trip took two hours, but to her, it was routine. “I make them myself, the traditional way,” she said with pride. Then, a playful remark—“Do you want to buy one?”
The Market Rider captures the pursuit of an image that once seemed impossible to frame. Yet, for all the effort and anticipation of those thirty minutes, they were nothing compared to the quiet resilience of a woman who made that journey every single day.

Collector's Limited Edition of 15 copies worldwide.
Limited to 15 editions worldwide, each photograph is processed in Germany on Fujiflex Crystal Archive Paper, one of the world's finest professional photographic papers.
Unlike inkjet printing, each image is laser-exposed onto silver halide photographic paper and chemically developed using a traditional chromogenic process. The ultra-high-gloss polyester surface delivers extraordinary sharpness, exceptional tonal depth and a remarkable three-dimensional appearance. Under proper lighting, microscopic crystals within the emulsion create an exceptional sense of depth, giving the photograph an almost backlit presence that is unlike conventional photographic prints.
Each artwork is individually numbered and accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity, signed, dated and embossed by the artist. The certificate also records the provenance of every edition, documenting where each of the fifteen prints has found its permanent home.
The artist proposes 15 copies, each available in the following sizes:
