Beawiharta's diptych photographs juxtapose two moments of an event, past and present, thus potentially creating a new story. A fleeting moment captured 'right next to Time' juxtaposed with present photographs, as if following the will of destiny across time. Kiky Rachmawati, a student from Trisakti, Jakarta, who participated in the demonstration to overthrow Soeharto was photographed by Bea on 12 May 1998. This work 'complements' the work of another photojournalist who previously photographed Kiky lying on the street after being hit by a bullet. Four of her fellow students died in the incident. Twenty-seven years have passed. Bea looked for Kiky - now a successful lawyer - to photograph her cheerful face in Jakarta, 29 May 2025. Bea's other famous photograph is 'Indiana Jones Bridge', the nickname given by the British newspaper, Daily Mail for this photo, and made it famous throughout the world. Bea's work in 2012 was about a group of school children crossing an unsteady bridge, almost collapsing in the Ciherang River, Lebak, West Java. Dozens of years later, Aan Rosidah, a junior high school student who in the old photo was the bravest 'skipper' whom Bea successfully met and photographed at her home with her two children, 25 April 2025.

In 2004/2005 a tsunami hit the Aceh mainland. Bea captured Sabariah and her son, Fastabiqul Khairat, walking for six hours through coastal villages in Aceh to get food, on 1 January 2005. On 25 April 2025, Bea photographed the two of them again, holding hands in the middle of a field with green hills surrounding their home in the background. Fastabiqul is now a barista in Banda Aceh. Hasni Laebo, a woman in a housedress who on 4 October 2018 stood strong in front of the ruins of her house due to the massive earthquake in Palu, is now a retired teacher. She makes a living as a food vendor at the school where she used to teach. Bea photographed this tough figure again, seven years later, on May 7 2025. The optimistic gaze of the survivors amidst "the most perfect big-screen scene of destruction" was the force that inspired Beawiharta to work on this photography project.


"The people I admire the most are the ones who live in conflict zones and disaster areas. Even though they have limited facilities, they survived." -Beawiharta
