Ang Sayaw (The Dance)
2017
| The Dance | Ang Sayaw, was made from the artist's longing of the sky and the breeze in the middle of his semestral undergraduate studies in a state university in Manila.
The cliffs and rolling landscape of challenge with communities are of the sole designer of itself unknown to the tenants of the, perhaps, empty city.
Gahter: Ang Bundok Sa Kapihan
2017
| Gutter: The mountains by the coffee house |
Intoxicated with the, perhaps, world's top human addiction, coffee. Often, worlds couldn't always be as big as ourselves.
Kapitan Lismo: Pugaran ng Lamok
2017
| Captain Lismo: Mosquito's nesting haven |
In a month of seclusion, finished a month-long work of a world multicellular societies in a slice of skin.
Pyudalismo
2017
An artwork based from an 8-year old boy's interpretation of the fall of Duterte's regime. The gleefully described Duterte being on the top of the tower on the centre, and the People with boulders facing the state forces -- in stick figures, wearing helmets. The artwork was entitled, 'Pyudalismo' or 'The end of Feudalism'.
Butil
2018
The dancing of individuals represented by each grass rooted on the ground; Breathes the same air that ties them closer and stronger, as they bear the fruit of being together.
Project Nasugbu
Anything in Nasugbu
In a town that was radically changed in a decade by a global economy, its culture was also confused by the mainstream national, and global culture; Stories stood true but scattered to pieces across the land; All was changed, therefore ultimately this project goes for anything about, with, in, on the town of Nasugbu.
Fortune Island
2018
Fourteen kilometres away from the shore. This iconic island witnessed the start of the end of World War II, and also Manila... as the pearl of the orient. When the US Navy forces came, for the Battle of Manila, aside from the one in the northern island of Luzon, Nasugbu bay has been a landing area of ships, in the south, carrying forces towards its liberation from the Imperial Japanese forces in the town, then eventually Manila.
Payong-Payong
2017
This ice-age old rock on the shallow waters leave children wondering on the stories of their town's past.
Locally, this is perhaps, the only rock seen on the public beach that could get those local stories in one piece, again.
Artist Bio
Alec Garcia
The Perhaps Perhaps Art is based on the beach town of Nasugbu, Philippines.
The Perhaps flashes the fluidity of the artist’s life from its fluid society and its non-fluidity, politicizing views of worlds both for its subject and its own.
