Moments of Reflection
Reclaiming My History
I started reflecting on my family's history, tracing my story back to the homeland. I found myself touched by how my Lolo proposed to my Lola: a Harana, a bold declaration of love performed through a public serenade. I wanted this to be more than just a machine, but more as a reflection of myself.
Looking Inward
The question now was, how do I translate these emotions into a tangible object? I looked at Filipino architecture, folktales, fauna, and flora to try and develop a more thoughtful form language.
