Interloper (After Hesse)
2026, Found utility cable, site-specific intervention
Approx. 25 feet and 8 inches
Former Kamuning EDSA Bus Stop, Quezon City, Philippines
Interloper bends a discarded utility cable into a looping, arched form within the pillars of a decaying bus stop, interrupting the underutilized and underdeveloped infrastructure.
In systems where inconvenience is reframed as resilience under strongman political logic, the work performs this rigidity as instability for both the object and the bodies moving through and against it.
Lakbay (Journey)
January - June 2026 (Ongoing), Bare on floor sanitary hairnets and single-channel audiovisual installation
To be installed Q3 2026
Manila, Philippines
Lakbay is an ongoing, durational process-based sculpture composed of disposable sanitary hairnets accumulated through the artist’s use of motorcycle ridesharing as part of his daily life as a college student.
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.
Codependency
2025, Photography and digital post-processing
10.08 x 13.44 inches
Manila, Philippines
Codependency depicts a homeless person sleeping beneath a worn American-flag blanket on a concrete Manila bridge, where its curve leads the eye toward a desecrated river and a political poster. The stark contrast between the achromatic foreground and hyper-saturated blue environment emphasizes the tension between the visual reality and one’s own felt condition.
The faded and dirtied flag, now turned shelter, functions as a symbol of uneven exchange: U.S. power as both protector and oppressor, an aspiration and abandonment. Shot on a 5-year-old iPhone, the image blatantly showcases digital artifacts and selective color manipulation, mirroring the abruptly unstable narratives Filipinos inherit from U.S. military history, imperialism, and diaspora-dependent economies.
