Against the dying of the light

Do not go gentle into that good night,

Old age should burn and rave at close of day;

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

"A man can be destroyed but not defeated.”

The Dream Weavers

The T'Boli Tribe of South Cotabato (Mindanao), Phlippines

While the Native Americans have dream catchers in their culture, the Filipinos have "Dream Weavers".

Each weaving design is unique and never repeated as it is profoundly based on the weaver's dream from a fragment of her sleep, then the weaving and visualizing her dream to an actual material would take several days to months of work. An immense dedication and patience to their craftsmanship on today's modernization, or should I say they work hard to make their dreams come true?

This is another one of the study for the commissioned series by Mont Albo Massage Hut in 2016. Check out their page or in IG to see more of the illustrations.

Manila Biennale : Art Dump 06

Some past design studies of the slums that were suppose to be an animated short film that I have worked with my mentor, Hans Bacher.

The film is now scrapped and shelved in 2012, until it was redesigned to be one of the visuals for the Manila Biennale 2018 - perfect timing and "zero waste". Ha.
