I’ve always been enamoured by
of the sea, moreso with
what lurks beneath.

I think about cave painting a lot – the earliest expressions of man’s awe of the natural world. I want to make paintings in this spirit – to express the magic, beauty, and mystery of being alive in this world.
Tosha Albor
Painting is my meditation. The open approach to my process makes it a constant experiment of free flowing lines and gestures. They can be short and repetitive, or involve long and expansive movement.

In his 2004 Christmas message, Pope John Paul II likened the evergreen Christmas tree to “the Tree of Life, a figure of Christ…” recalling the teachings of early Christian mystics as well as adopting the world mythology of the celestial Tree.

Buhol-buhol ang kulay dilaw, kahel at dalandang pisi.
Malumanay ang sayaw ng pilas ng papel,
nagpapapansin sa maalikabok na hangin.
Ang kalikasan raw ay supot ng gagamba
nambibihag ng estranghero.
Nangaakit. Nananakit.
Pope Bacay
The cycle of the caribou antler is one of the most unique natural processes as they are grown and cast yearly .What I intended to capture in my work is the shedding of the velvet by relating this cycle to what we have gone through this pandemic.

As in the case of my other printed matter drawings, the receipt drawings are an attempt at the impossible labour of rivalling technology.

This body of work is inspired by concepts of interruption — as our sense of normalcy is interrupted by this pandemic, and of growth and renewal, as represented by a Caribou shedding and growing their antlers.
Jim Fuentebella
It is my source of strength, growth, and perhaps, inward protection. This piece of illuminated words can be likened to the caribou’s antlers as a narrative of strength – a continuing journey – forever growing, reminding, validating, who I truly am.

This meditative video art was filmed during a lockdown period using equipment and materials on hand. Having gone through a recent spiritual awakening, I resonated with some qualities of the caribou totem —resilience, strength, resourcefulness, determination and the ability to find your way home (physically and emotionally).

Rest can have multiple meanings, it can be interpreted as a motionless state, a pause between actions, a means to recover, an end, or the remaining part of something.

Further reading on the caribou revealed that it was an endangered species that had lost a large amount of its population because of human intervention, diminishing land for breeding and grazing, and man’s rapacious destruction of its habitat.
Robert Langenegger
I wanted to take the title of the show literally and let it deviate from there to lead me towards the show’s concept of how I have evolved.

Ang bawat isa na naninirahan sa gubat ay magkaugnay. Ang bawat isa ay may likas na ganda kagaya ng isang caribou.
Michelle Perez
I got a chance to see some caribou many years back. It left an impression on me as they are magnificent creatures with a mystical, magical aura about them

We make do with what we have.
Costantino Zicarelli
From the eyes of a snake to the spirits of his tongue.
There is fire between this sun, and fire between this land.
The sun, the sun, my heart.
