Series of small sculptural works constructed of wire and found objects and materials as part of a group show at 57w57arts in New York, January 8- February 17,  2023.

This is a continuing series of small primitive figures made from scrap wood and various found objects.

Through the lens of community workers and multimedia artists Gen Fraser and Ky Vassor explore self preservation, reclamation of space, and the importance of honoring Black women and femmes for more than the work they produce. Gen and Ky's exhibition asks viewers "What's left to give at the end of it all" for Black women and femmes?

Value Studies is a series of works in various media that explore the entanglements of global capitalist systems, constructions of cultural identity, and value. I utilize the language of material histories and commodities specifically tied to the collective national identity of the Philippines. I’m also utilizing personal sensorial and material associations in my work, as a way of grounding it in an autoethnographic approach to research and art production. Chromatic value also plays a part in creating these pieces.
