A fancy suburb in the making can be such a strangely enchanting place. I got here by chance during a commissioned work in Jakarta and was immediately awe-struck when I saw it. A vast, empty flatland, save for a wide road to nowhere and some signs of construction scattered here and there. There's nobody else around and all you can hear is the sound of blowing wind. In a few months all this will be replaced by rows of identical houses and big-box stores seemingly sprouting out of thin air.
