Corresponding to work of Philippine
artist Mimi Tecson done for her grandmother, I intend to look for the similar
objects and elements from the construction of her piece.
Everyday objects are sometimes imbued with intense emotions and memories, much like religious statues before which we burn incense or offer worship. They can become nourishment for the soul. By striking and colliding these objects to produce sound, I extend the tones into long, unbroken stretches, allowing them to linger. In the end, the sound transforms into a narrative—one that speaks of my family of origin.
