"Inscription of Hope"" is a personal exploration of feelings and how they can be translated through the usage of objects and spaces. Often, we associate ourselves with our comforts that could allow our emotional state to connect within either domestic or institutionalized areas. Inscription of Hope has a stillness, freezing of moment. An absence of human presence has allowed me to focus on the object and space. The space used in these photographs is where human activity often occurs, but as mentioned, since the pandemic started, this place has not been used. The mundane is present but more so still. Moreover, the light has added comforts to contrast the stillness. The warmth of light has given hope.
"Idyoms" is an exploration of Filipino Idiomatic Expression. The idiom is a phrase with a different meaning from the literal meaning of the words. These projects explore the relationship between the mother language and culture's comments and how a body interprets its visual representation. Idioms have used mother an expression in my experience, and some idiomatic expression has been used to cultivate behaviours, often used by children, and carries on. In my experience, idioms are significant to my upbringing. It helped me behave and be conscious of my actions. These staged photographs also depict how these words staged someone's upbringing. Moreover, I wanted to interpret this literature and words to visual culture. Visual Images do not have the full power to translate or depict a particular words and meanings and vice versa.
