This image was created right after the war of Russia and Ukraine broke out in March of 2022. This fiery cloud on this person's head, seemingly without identity but at the same time full to the brim with stories, that travels toward freedom, almost as if escaping. This manipulated photograph explores a romantic notion of freedom in a world that is being rocked by one disaster after another. Faced with the impact of the war started by Russia against Ukraine, many people especially in Taiwan and surrounding countries have been anxious about China starting a similar war effort to win territorial disputes. Then the question of existence of freedom in modern times and in the future, can it or will it still exist? Despite spying governments, violent radicals, and excessive copyright laws, among other evils, threaten the ability of the individual to exercise his or her freedom, will freedom still exist? Although, I believe your freedom is limited by your mind. We cannot experience true freedom until we’re able to control and act on our thinking. Slaves do not manage — they are managed. Who controls your thoughts? Who controls your actions? Is it the media, is it social media, celebrities, youtubers or just yourself?

Born in Manila, Philippines in 1986. I am a visual artist who recently focuses on acrylic paintings, photo-manipulation and installations. In my work, the subjects are represented through a mix of imagined and realistic images, playing with the expectations of the viewer and raising questions about the role that human emotions play in memory. The scenes reflect on psychological impulses and on the way they are depicted and fused with everyday reality. My photographs and paintings explore the traditional boundaries of visual representation, where the creative powers of the unconscious are unleashed to reveal a different reality. In the past I have exhibited in several countries - Australia, England, Germany, Georgia, Italy, Japan, Lithuania, Philippines, Poland, Serbia, South Korea, Taiwan, UK and USA. I have also won a few prizes like the 2010 1st prize in the Digital Art Category at the Art Museum of Chianciano Terme, Italy and 2011 Best Photography Illustration from The Redmond Digital Arts Festival in Washington, USA, 2015 2nd place in the Secret Art Prize from the Curious Duke Gallery in London and Nominated for the APBF Signature Art Prize of 2014 from the Singapore Art Museum. I was also named as one of 2014 and 2017 Asia's Top Ten Most Inspiring Visual Artists in Asia by the Top 10 Publications in Malaysia. I was also a 2020 Arte Laguna Prize Finalist and recently I’ve worked with GIANT to create bicycles that are based on the stories and life experiences using bicycles of people that work in the cycling company GIANT. He currently lives in Taichung, Taiwan where he recently has been doing a lot of public art installations.
