UNANG LARUAN
What grows in the city? Metro Manila is largely considered bereft of natural beauty, an ugly concrete tumor on the neck of the archipelago. Plant life does not fluorish wildly, it is instead tolerated and controlled – allowed to grow where we like it, and pruned where it interferes with human settlement.

BETWEEN FACES
Between Faces explores the duality and self-construction of identity through the transformative art of drag. The photographs follow Marina Summers in various intimate moments that explore the quiet rituals of preparation, the anticipation behind the curtains, and the glamour on stage.
Born out of friendship and community, the series reflects the trust and understanding that make these transformations possible. It honors drag not just as performance, but as a shared space of creativity, belonging, and expression.

CURIOSITY CITIES
Curiosity City is not a place that you’ll find on any map. It is my way of seeing through my own lens.
During my childhood, I was always curious about the things that surrounded me. I played with my friends day and night on the streets with things that are not usually played with by kids in today’s generation.
