Esa
by Sungai
2019 — Yogyakarta, Indonesia.
“Esa” is a tribute song written in remembrance of the departed: Erwin Zubiyan, Charlie Meliala, and Anjing Antariksa. The refrain
“Kau lihat aku disana, ku lihat kau disini”
Captures a soft hallucination of mutual presence: the living and the dead quietly observing one another from across realms. It’s not grief in loud colors — it’s a silent ache, framed in nostalgia.

Role
- Oversaw entire creative direction and production
- Shot on digital + analog-damaged filters for lo-fi visual texture
- Edited with melancholic pacing, ambient transitions, and emotional visual rhythm
Style & Visual Language
- Aesthetic: lo-fi, martyr muse, slow-burning grayscale dream
- Visual reference: Sofia Coppola x Wong Kar Wai x Tumblr 2013 sadgirl-core
- Color tone: desaturated blush-pinks, cloudy whites, and soft muted greys
- Moodboard: VHS haze, empty city streets, slow dancing silhouettes, dried flowers, rain-soaked windows
- Movement: mostly handheld & floating dolly shots, mimicking grief drifting
Narrative Approach
- No plot, only mood
- Visuals reflect the lingering presence of those who’ve passed—hints of their memory scattered in rooms, reflections, and in-between silences
- Close-ups of eyes, fingers, empty seats, and sky—every frame breathing a silent “I miss you”
- Editing is poetic: long fades, dissolves, optical blur, heartbeat rhythms
Technical Specs
- Shot on Sony mirrorless with vintage lens filters
- Color grading in DaVinci Resolve for creamy tones & film fade
- Edited in Premiere Pro
- Custom grain overlays to simulate damaged memory tape
“I didn’t make a music video—I made a love letter to absence. I treated every frame like an altar: quiet, slow, unfinished. Because grief never ends, it only fades into something beautiful and unbearable.”
