Arkipelago (Ark 1)

Arkipelago is a series of three large-scale narratives drawn from "second creation" mythologies, where a world comes to life from primordial material. Computer interfaces begin as substrate, then appropriated into landscapes, drawing out dense and layered narratives of the domestic to divine.

Ark 1 (2026) of the trio draws from disaster and rebirth, depicting the tides, calamity, and territory: fishermen, migrations, typhoons, and the aquatic spiritual. Inspired by Filipino social realist painters and city-building simulation games, it depicts everyday agricultural life amid disaster — satellite imagery, Google StreetView, forums, and marketplace sites are transformed into small vignettes of life and movement.
