Lakbay (Journey)

January - December 2026 (Ongoing), Bare on floor sanitary hairnets and single-channel audiovisual installation

Installation Date TBA

Manila, Philippines

Lakbay is an ongoing process-based installation composed of disposable sanitary hairnets accumulated through the artist’s use of motorcycle ridesharing as part of his daily life.

It visually quantifies the commodification of the convenience of mobility within Metropolitan Manila, where its population ritually participates in an ongoing battle with dense urban conditions and the lack of support for the overstretched public transportation system. 

Shipbuilding

Further Information TBA

Shipbuilding examines circulation through a material transition from wooden vessels to contemporary steel tankers, tracing a shift from the movement of spice and gold to the global dominance of crude oil. Rather than presenting this as a historical contrast, the work treats it as a continuous system in which earlier maritime substrates are overwritten by current extractive infrastructures. 

Using petroleum-derived UV ink, industrial steel textures and fragmented vessel images are imprinted onto wood. Variations in resolution and aspect ratio introduce controlled abstraction, allowing images to stretch, compress, and degrade as if processed through systems of transport. In this condition, images no longer remain fixed representations but behave as circulating matter—unstable, transferred, and reconstituted across material and temporal regimes.

Configured across a single wall, the installation functions as a surface of inscription where circulation registers as residue. The work does not depict maritime history; it embeds contemporary logistical and petrochemical systems directly into the material memory of earlier forms, collapsing distinctions between past and present into a continuous field of movement.

All Bitches Die

Date TBA, Fog machine, Froggy’s Fog Charred Corpse scent additive, and audiovisual installation 

Variable dimensions

All Bitches Die re-enacts the catastrophe of the Navotas Landfill Fire during the second quarter of 2026. Causing reduced road visibility and advisory-driven travel restrictions due to hazardous air quality.

Named after the Lingua Ignota song and debut album, the installation imitates the Navotas beach and mangrove area, which was desecrated into molestation of nature by ‘bitching’ the beach with the pollution of human waste and excess.
