Dear All, London - Video made by Sonny Lazo-Banawa
Words of appreciation I would like to share:
The showing in London was done in close collaboration with Leanne Ghesquiere, a dear friend of mine who does curatorial studies in London, and Mees Noordzij, another dear long-standing friend from my hometown with an engineering background. We have been talking about the project since December 2025, and worked remotely via video meetings, until we saw each other again in April 2026 to set up. From the start until the end, working with them felt immensely natural and easy.
For the installation and on-site support provided to Mees, I would like to express my thanks to Alastair Gleeson, Julian Spanbroek, Marijn van Nunen, and Arsenii Bychkov. For the promotion and on-site assistance of Leanne, I would like to thank Antoine Chaudet and Rychon Tokromo. I would also like to extend my appreciation to Sonny Lazo-Banawa for contributing to the making of this video, and to Lucas Buendia and Fidel Balthazar for helping with the deinstallation of the exhibit.
Last but not least, thank you to all 130 individuals who trust me every time again and again, and to all the very pleasant visitors who happened to be in London and came by to see our work.
I thank and love you all very deeply.
Really, every element of this showing felt in its place and just right. I have no regrets and look back with a lot of contentment.

Reminiscing on ‘25 in cold and snowy January, I am filled with warmth and gratitude. This year was one that brought me personal growth. I feel blessed to have been able to pursue my vision on housing, in apprenticeship graduating in architecture and engineering. Simultaneously sharing beautiful experiences with loved ones, some of whom I got to know in the same year. I hold these moments close to my heart. I wish all of you a ‘26 in fulfillment and consciousness. May all your goals and aspirations come true.
