Angkong is an online interactive exhibition and tribute to my late grandfather, Samuel SyCip (1939-2019). Through this work my hope is for viewers to have a glimpse into the extraordinary life of my grandfather, Angkong. Despite facing great adversities and trials there was always one constant in his life that never ceased, his faith in Jesus Christ. His unwavering faith moved mountains and continues to inspire many till this day.

As his granddaughter, it is a privilege and an honor to use my skills and talents I’ve learned from the last four and a half years in dedication to him and to my final work as a Digital Media Art student at San Jose State University. May this work honor him and his legacy as it continues to share not only who he was and is to me, but also Whom he dedicated his life to.
