Born and raised in the Philippines, my research explores identity, the concept of the gaze, and diasporic narratives. Working primarily across painting, drawing, and sculpture, I investigate form, space, and colour through processes of construction, deconstruction and repetition. Using line as a tool for fragmentation and the dissolution of boundaries, I aim to create holistic compositions while embracing visual ambiguity.
Seduced by the sensation of colors and the energy of lines, I seek to construct and deconstruct familiar paintings whilst adding images created from memory.
Fusing art history, childhood memories, and critical art theory, historical documents and works of art from late Middle Ages to the 20th century serve as points of reference.
