Tilas Waktu takes its name from the Javanese concept of tilas, an afterimage or remnant whose presence lingers after disappearance. In this installation, A. Sebastianus transforms domestic decay, ancestral heirlooms, soil, ash, and organic residue into anthropogenic geological formations.
These sculptures aren’t representations of stones; they are living repositories of time, labor, and intimacy. Sitting between shrine, excavation, and speculative ruin, the work destabilizes the boundaries between memory and geology, asking what it truly means to belong to the earth.
