Embrace Project Philippines

Geographically, the Philippines is prone to earthquakes and super typhoons -- these are two (2) major factors that causes landslides [aside from urbanization] that our local communities are not prepared for. It seems that mountain nets and braces are not part of the preventive measures of the national government as we often hear more about warnings and the landslide disaster news rather than programs for prevention. With the rapid advancement of climate change, and the Philippines having a firsthand experience of its impact, I feel we must act quickly for preventive measures before another disaster strikes. Building mountain nets and/or braces will not just prevent landslides but may also preserve the local heritage, local culture, local industry, jobs, lives including memories. A rigid and standard appearance of mountain braces and nets may feel ominous or imposing, hence as a public-artist I envision installing mountain nets/braces that complement the natural landscape and that can be a source of sustainable energy. Embrace Project Philippines is a land art - mountain nets/brace project made of concrete, stone and solar/wind energy generation system that can power public school, hospital, and local government offices.

Art for Peace

The goal of this project is to facilitate reconciliation between Bosnian communities through a series of workshops and lectures on art and cultural heritage taking place in Stolac. The produced artworks will be exhibited as part of the celebration marking 20 years of peace in Bosnia and Herzegovina. This project is unique because it covers rural localities, rarely a subject of reconciliation projects, but also because it seeks to answer the question: Are the post-war generations ready to creatively re-imagine the future of their country, a future without war?
