Rahim bin Salim
a palm oil plantation village in Sarawak, Borneo
Rahim bin Salim spends his nights patrolling the shadow-wrapped lanes of a palm oil plantation in Sarawak, alert to the creaks and rustles that disturb the quiet. His personal battle with alcohol is marked by the lines he etches into the wall to celebrate each day of sobriety. As he measures stolen time from the knock of a door to the response from within, Rahim finds himself embraced by the late-night world and its intimate silences.
