Timawo

Timawo is the first iteration of a bigger work “Cosmological Gangbang”
The commission came from Dr. Patrick Flores the head curator of Vive Excon Kalibutan: The world in Mind 2020

The word Timawo originated in my hometown language Hiligaynon.
”Tawo” means human and timawo means the other human or somewhat human.
It references the other beings such as spirits, creatures, and has a spiritual / mythological connotation.

”A series of Visual studies on embodying gods and creating environment. Referencing spiritual background as a child growing up in my hometown, Bacolod City. And the early knowledge of Visayan mythology, traditions, and precolonial gender belief systems passed down through generational knowledge. Transfiguring local experiences to global consciousness and designing entities.
