Filipino Heritage

For this project, I chose to explore my Filipino heritage. I grew up in the Philippines up until 2013 when my older sister and I moved here in the UK to live with my mum, my little sister and (step) dad. I acknowledged that there has been numerous projects about our Filipino heritage such as last year’s graduate, Aynrand Ariel’s work, “Balikbayan”.

Therefore, for my project I wanted to explore and have a deeper understanding of the pre-colonial Philippines. This is through further expanding my knowledge on the national costume, baro’t saya or filipiniana, the pre-colonial writing system, Baybayin and incorporate the colours of the Philippine flag in my lighting setup.
