This body of work delves into the rich tapestry of our collective experiences, aiming to bridge the past and present while offering a space for reflection and conversation, she said.

The term “Hiliugyon” refers to harmonious collaboration or unity, while “Taliambong” speaks to the realm of art and creativity. Together, they encapsulate the essence of this project – an ongoing dialogue between tradition and contemporary practices, Lonasco said.

“Our art seeks to honor the indigenous and local customs while integrating modern techniques, reflecting both respect for our roots and a desire for innovation”, she said.

“Through these works, we hope to create an immersive experience that resonates with viewers on both emotional and intellectual level, inspiring a deeper understanding of cultural continuity and transformation,” she added.

Guests of honor at the opening were Silay Tourism Officer Andro Buison, Noel and Mae de la Peña, Butch Torres, and Kristine Alonso.*
