When you do that, don't forget where you're from and that there will always be a beacon for you to come home.

And so this sculpture is a 28-story sculpture.

The reason for that height is because it's the same height I made a little taller than the Statue of Liberty.

Yeah.

The same sort of idea of this idea of the American dream and freedom.

And then...

It's has his hand in the air.

Cause like a beacon to remind you to come back home, but it's made a perforated mellow on the top and then go solid to the bottom to a mirror finish at the feet.

So when you first enter it, you actually see your reflection in the sculpture of who you can be right now.

It doesn't have to be abroad or go anywhere.

You can do this right now.

And then as you go up, you actually see the structure kind of, um,

sort of become invisible, like becomes perforated.

So you can actually see the structure inside that then represents the strength of the Filipino.

Thanks.

I mean, my piece is that, you know, we all have our own studio work, right?

My studio work has these fractal low poly kind of positions with the box heads that for me, the box has represent this idea of a city with emotions, but the fractal pattern is,

are really points that are connected.

And so they're called points of connection.

And the fact that you said that I like connecting people is really what resonates in my own personal work, that I'm still doing these pieces that are about connection.
