100 Views of Manila
Inspired by Hiroshige’s ‘100 Famous Views of Edo,’ and also stemming from the feelings I've always felt coming home from travels abroad. There was always this frustration of what a certain country has, that Manila doesn’t, especially in terms of aesthetics of a city. But through fresh eyes and looking at Manila as I would marvel other countries, I was able to change those feelings by looking at Manila at a differently - accepting it for what it is now, but also hopeful of what it can be. I realize through every artwork that there is so much beauty in this city if you just keep looking - a lot can surprise you. It’s when you’re far away from home that you realize how important it is to you.
