The Story
A time capsule, a love letter to the past; this hand-painted vase is an intimate mosaic of memory, identity, and transformation. The Virgin Mary, serene and ever-watchful, stands as a quiet echo of a Catholic upbringing, a tether to faith and family. Nearby, a well-loved Glo Worm, its plastic skin worn soft by childhood hands, hums with the warmth of nostalgia. But innocence fades - adolescence arrives, uncertain and unkind, reflected in the delicate retelling of The Ugly Duckling, a story that once soothed yet now reveals deeper truths. A vintage Valentine’s card lingers, sweet yet hollow, its sentiment mirrored in a 90s Windows error message - unrequited love, a glitch in the heart’s coding. And then, a Filipino 10-cent stamp, a quiet tribute to heritage, migration, and the stories carried across generations. This vase is no mere object - it is a relic of growing up, of belonging and longing, a beautifully fractured self-portrait in sculptural form.
