Lovina, Bali, 2015

Koming, Ozalia Budhiani, is fifteen years old and lives with her family in Lovina, Bali. I call her my little Balinese sister. I had always wished for a younger sister — and while living in Lovina, I found three. Koming reminded me of my younger self. Maybe that’s why I wanted to capture her — to hold onto something I recognized in her.
