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This stream has been archived and exhibited, both online and IRL.

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.

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.
