"Kapatid" is the tagalog word for sibling, as someone who is cut from the same umbilical cord. Whatever path you take and however far it gets you, there is a home you can always come back to when you need it.

Like the fairytales she loved since childhood, Puying dances along the lines between playful and morbid to share stories. During her early years in Iearning arts in Vigan and a year in Indonesia, she explored materials such as terracotta, wire, metal, and batik painting. Later, she focused on painting, drawing from her experiences and other concepts.
