In my work, I explore the Philippines as a living, breathing entity—a nation contorted by the weight of history, identity, and socio-political turbulence. Through surreal anthropomorphism, I reimagine the cartographic silhouette of the archipelago as a protagonist in its own mythos, embodying contradictions, struggles, and the haunting specters of colonialism, and domestic decay. Each painting interrogates the duality of the nation’s soul, oscillating between farce and tragedy, the sacred and the profane.
