This work is about packaged places, thinking about the tradition of balikbayan boxes (returning something back home, usually from overseas) translated into reminiscing about my filipino home/s and wanting to return. This influenced the images that appeared in these paintings, depicting the colourful streets of Antipolo, Manila as if looking through a window in time.
