Sanctuary Reimagined: Unveiling Spiritual rebirth and bicultural renewal through animism, eternalism, repetition, and layering.
Sanctuary Reimagined intricately maps my transformative journey of spiritual rebirth and bi-cultural renewal through mixed-media installation. By employing a methodology of repetition, layering, and calligraphy, memories and tales drawn from my Chinese-Filipino diasporic spiritual beliefs and cultural inheritances are recollected, reclaimed, and reframed with concepts of eternalism and animism, ultimately reconstructing personal and cultural narratives towards a reimagined future of enriched identity. This project envisions creating a sanctuary that fuses the tangible with the spiritual, embodying the process of rebirth and renewal while inviting contemplation of life’s wonder and appreciation of its infinite nature
My practice intricately weaves spirituality, animism, and my bi-cultural identity. I explore interconnectedness and inheritances through repetition and layers in ink drawings, animation, and installations, fusing the tangible with the spiritual to captivate the unseen while inviting viewers into my inner world of contemplative meditations on life.
