In Bituin: Constellations of Filipino Creativity (2025)
 NO-THING was a hybrid 24-hour performance and exhibition on the theme of nothingness hosted through an experimental livestreaming network created by and for artists.

Here, “24-Hour Vlog” originated as a 24-hour playlist compiling my parents' recent YouTube history, often featuring lifestyle and food vlogs set in the Philippines, as we view from our home in Texas.

A portrait of diaspora through snippets of hand-held YouTube footage of elevators, price tags on clothes, and grocery store hauls.

This stream has been archived and exhibited, both online and IRL.



Altar Piece (2025) / Short Film

Created through Union Docs CoLAB 2025 Artist Residency

Directed & Edited by Kiana Fernandez
DOP & Coloring by Olivia Acuña
Sound Recording & Composing by Khatia Maglakelidze
Sound Mixing by Mia Warren
Union Docs CoLAB Residency Screening (Preview exhibited June 2025)
The Holy Mary amidst ongoing traffic. A basement of deities with the light on 24/7. A collection of trash, or so it seems. “Altar Piece” explores Ridgewood, Queens, through the altars and shrines that ornament the neighborhood. While some are more recognizable in form than others, these objects are brought together with a considered touch. 

Between interviews, introspection, and collage, we witness different forms of desire, an innate need to create physical centers that can be made "sacred”. This sense of tangibility gives us a way to connect: to a loved one, to our prayers, to our fears, to the city we live in, to something unexplainable, to someone just passing by.





What Do Women Want? (2025) / Poster & Exhibition Identity

Design, Type, and Illustration by Kiana Fernandez
Curation by Mary Escalante

Title & Blocks Exhibited at Fugue Gallery NYC (September 2025)
“What Do Women Want” was an exhibition that explored body surrealism and female antics through call-and-response.

By crowdsourcing answers to the question “what do women want?”, each response became a “part of the body”, inspired by the exquisite corpse technique and remixable toy doll blocks.

Anthology Film Archives (Snippet exhibited November 2025)
Soil Story is a 16mm film that combines found foliage and an experimental approach to the film developing process, which is in collaboration with the environment.

The film explores the juxtaposition of histories and memories surrounding the Ridgewood Reservoir and the cemetery belt. Two locations that straddle each other, with the Jackie Robinson Parkway cut in between. With both locations in conversation with each other, we explore the cycles of time, space, memory, and land development and disposal.

DogOmen.com is an observation on the rise of “hope core”, an internet aesthetic and philosophy that focuses on “finding feeling” through “cute”, “silly”, or “wholesome” imagery, as well the increasing spiritual awareness spread through the web, TikTok tarot card readings, “Double Tap To Claim This Message” and “If You’re Seeing This, It Is For A Reason” social media messaging, etc. Written text is pulled from existing online readings and paired with complementary imagery.

Floor Notes (2023) / Zine

By Kiana Fernandez (Design, Photography, Compilation)
8 Ball Community Zine Fair (October 2024)


“Floor Notes” documents all the things that we pass by. Sometimes we take them as a sign. Most of the time, they are just trash. Either way, we look down!  

In these 110 coiled notebook pages, you will find things stumbled upon, all on the floor. The hope is that alongside these signs/pieces of food/memorabilia/trash, you can document words/sketches/blobs that pass by you on any given day. Best accompanied on a stroll, however short or long.

Utilizing old imagery and repurposing it, “Getting A Hug & Saying Things Are Okay Are The Opposities of What I Can Get Right Now” questions the way we look at our memories, not as something as truthful, but something idealized, sparkly, and often times, unreal.

Started at the rise of the pandemic in 2020 and completed at the end of 2021, “GAH&STAOATOOWICGRN” is a piece centered around remembering and wanting more.
