I am an emerging artist whose practice spans installation, sculpture, painting, and Sound Art. My work explores the intersections between my Filipino and Australian heritages, combining elements from the Australian landscape with symbolic references drawn from Filipino culture. Recently, I contributed to a gallery show, led a hands-on Sound Art workshop, and composed music for a short film by Penrith-based ARI, Riff Raff. My multidisciplinary approach reflects a deep engagement with both cultures, creating a dialogue that resonates through various mediums. By intertwining these diverse influences, I aim to create art that tells stories of the complexity of identity, memory, and place.
