“Mother Will Build the Wall…”
This house was once a woman
There but seen as fragments, with only a glimpse of her moving fingers circulating within the linear gaps in the kitchen cabinets
And during dinner parties, her presence was frequently felt but left unnoticed; everyone else could smell the pungent aroma of her signature grandma’s chicken cooked in the oven But where is she?
Oven rang its alarm, leaving smoke throughout the entire house as the food got burnt
And as everyone left the party, this house was once a wife
The wife who slept in the same bed as her partner [the bed one hundred people sat and spilled wine on]
The partner people have their precedents of
The wife who has always been referred to as his partner [but never herself]
She was never known to be herself but merely an extension of her husband She was never the woman she used to be
She was a tool, an object
The courtyard was a pausing moment
It was the only time she could look straight at her kid's room at the back of the house without looking down
Within the gaps of the stones
She was a mother, a pride of hers
And when this house once used to be a mother
At every dinner party, the kids would have a cheeky peek under the curtains, looking up to the silhouettes of people roaming around holding drinks With some uncontrollable laughter and high-pitched giggles
But between the blurry roaming crowds, the mother stood still looking down at the louver-shut windows, hoping to see a glimpse of her kids moving around
She has her grips as stiff as muhammad ali, anxious as she couldn’t see where her kids reside within that separate building her husband designed
The thought of escaping has always remained as pitches
Could she escape? Did she really want to escape from that goddamn house?
Until the passing of the husband
She has no one else to sleep with in the lounge room
Nothing else to hold onto in both of her pockets
Nothing else to cook other than Aldi’s microwaveable butter chicken
And nothing else to look after but her kids
Maybe the escapism never happened in the first place
It’s left as a thought that swings by every morning breakfast, every dinner party, every ironing session…
Instead, she reclaimed her land
From the lands she felt confined
Offering a different treatment of power of ownership of belonging of watching
Fuck the husband. Sorry. He’s dead. Of course, she grieved
A faint memory,
There are some parts of the house that reminded her of home
Maybe it was the gloomy grey bricks
Maybe it was the kitchen cabinets
The courtyard
The void
The power vacuum
After all the courtyard is now a passing moment
And in some living room somewhere, this house has its portrait hung upon the grey bricks of the walls that heard, And whispered,
“Mother will build the wall…”
As what is left for her is her love Her world Her kids
Loving unconditionally in a watch tower contained of voids, this house remains a woman, a wife, and a mother

Rania Sidanta (b. 2002) This House is Escaping its Architecture, 2023 Digital Work
This house fights for authority. It disobeys its architect for the freedom that was stolen when its first wall was drawn. This project imagines an architecture of a conflicting dialogue between the system and the oppressed.

This house is not yours. The uncanny arises in the compacted staircase and a door with a reflection of your psyche. Perceiving a self-portrait in a property that isn't yours is unhomely enough to welcome you. But that alluring door handle tells you otherwise. This is an entrance that sparks a dilemma.
