Across the exhibition, acts of assembling, breaking, covering, and revealing become ways of approaching wholeness. The works move between dispersion and containment, absence and presence, suggesting that completeness is not restored intact but encountered in fragments, through persistence.
These pieces are, in this sense, meditations on finding sustenance in the midst of lack—on how physical struggle can open into another form of nourishment. The materials themselves bear this out: worn, handled, and repurposed, they endure, carrying forward what has been used, tested, and lived through.

Taliwala is a Cebuano word that refers to being in the middle, the space between departure and arrival. Balag began production for the exhibition by asking herself a simple question: why do people travel, and where are we all going? Behind every trip is a reason that cannot always be seen. Some travel to work, to provide. Some leave home carrying food, gifts, or necessities for others. In these works, travel is shown as an act tied closely to responsibility, love, devotion, and hope. And that special package you carry from one point to another. -Kaye O’Yek

Pitik-Pitik marks the artist’s return to sculpture two years after he last showed sculptural pieces in Damgo, and after being Grand Awardee in the sculpture category at the 2023 MADE (Metrobank Art and Design Excellence) competition. This exhibition may also be considered a continuation of his first solo, Kuridas, where he paid tribute to laborers, farmers, and fishermen, reaffirming the material and social terrain that has long shaped his practice. Working with the hardy and weather-proof marine epoxy, G.I. wire, patching compound, acrylic paint, and found or salvaged construction tools and materials, Valdemoro creates elongated figures modeled after local persona, with hand-worked surfaces bearing markings from the artist’s fingers, assembled from the same economy of invention that defines provincial construction culture itself. -Kaye O’yek
Pitik-Pitik by Abril Valdemoro will run until May 30. For more information, email us at [email protected]

Delmo’s Huling Pagkakataon carries a backpack — monumental, mournful — the vessel of a generation trained for departure. These are not images of burden so much as images of choice: what you decide to bring when you go.
