Cultural Inclusion

My work explores the challenges of cultural identity and the way in which most first and
second generations of immigrants tend to lose their cultural heritage in some capacity. With
personal experience and notice of others dealing with the same dilema, they tend to lose
connections of their ancestors. This is used with digital illustrations of characters with different
understandings of the Filipino culture. My work invites the viewers to engage in cultural history
for American-born-Filipinos and encourage more Filipino identities within multimedia. Current
works uses the mythologies within the Filipino culture and the stories that are apart of the culture.
My illustrations explore more about Filipino culture as a way to help have a sense of
understanding to the world through culture.
