In Meramu Sisa, residue lives on; present as itself, not as mere remains. Block of color sweep across—coexisting, meeting, brushing against each other. Gradations dissipate, bringing together disparate localities onto the same surface. Small dots scatter unevenly, dense on one side and sparse on the other.
Residue manifests both as pigment on paper and as powder and raw materials: soil, stone, soot, even eggshells. Nidiya Kusmaya compounds residues into a distinct language—from particles to dialogues between material and place, from what remains to what bears witness.
