At the core of this collection are tapestries that incorporate elements of the most private female experience: lingerie and thongs. In Hearth and Home, these are not treated as mere garments or provocative symbols, but as relics ofthe sacred feminine. By elevating these intimate objects into the realm of the "holy," the work explores the inherent sanctity of womanhood—the quiet strength, the vulnerability, and the life-giving essence that defines the domestic "hearth."

By deconstructing and weaving these materials into larger, complex tapestries, I aim to strip away their secular context and invite a more contemplative gaze. They are presented as icons of a personal liturgy, honoring the body as a temple and the home as its sanctuary. In the spirit of a true homecoming, these works—some of which have traveled through Manila’s contemporary spaces—now return to Qube Gallery in Cebu, finding their final resting place in the city where my creative journey began.

Through this "round up" of years and materials, I invite viewers to look past the surface of the fabric and see the layers of history, identity, and the enduring sacredness that resides in the things we keep closest to us.
