Lot Essay

“It's very hard to say that what I am doing is about national identity because Philippine culture is a mixture of indigenous, Spanish, Japanese, and American influences. I just find myself looking into these folk narratives and picturing in my mind the rich connections past stories can have to the present, which can even let us see a map of the future..”

– Rodel Tapaya
