Eko Bintang’s solo exhibition, (Un)certain Behavior, explores unpredictable shifts in identity and the influences of perception on these changes. The exhibition title places the prefix “Un” in brackets to highlight the paradox inherent in identity: We know our behaviors are bound to change over time, yet the direction and nature of the change are never fully predictable. Eko's works instill an intuitive and interesting contemplation of identity carried primarily through the figures present in them. The figures are the main actors, the plot, and, to some extent a mirror for the spectators. Perhaps we are urged to understand ourselves by trying to understand others.

Our identity is defined by endless, intrinsic changes that are impossible to analyze and predict. With all of its fluidity and unstoppable current, however, we can attempt to understand it by observing what exists externally, which can be seen and felt through our behaviors. The tension between certainty and uncertainty reflects Eko’s contemplative understanding of self-identification as a fluid and ever-evolving process shaped by internal and external influences. 

Like tomorrow’s weather, which can be predicted but never fully certain, the constant flux of life can feel overwhelming. Yet, these uncertainties are among life’s most wondrous qualities—offering possibilities and surprises at every turn. Rather than seeking definitive answers, the exhibition suggests that embracing uncertainty allows us to appreciate the beauty in change.
