"On September 26, two exhibits opened simultaneously at Space Encounters Gallery in Ortigas, in cooperation with Lamana: one featuring the works of Itsy Macasaet-Dazo, and another featuring the pieces of Jem Magbanua. Both artists have ties to Japan—Jem spent her residency in Japan, which influenced her identity as an artist, and Itsy’s show, “Cycles,” was influenced by cremation ceremonies that affected her deeply, making her realize that beauty can be found even in death, the very ethos of Ishinomaki Laboratory’s pieces."
What an inspiring blend of art, culture, and emotional depth! It’s amazing to see how personal experiences and Japanese influences shape such meaningful exhibits. As someone running a Local Courier Service in Chicago, I truly admire how thoughtful design and collaboration can cross borders—something we also value when handling deliveries with care and intention.
The profound themes explored by Ishinomaki Laboratory highlight the delicate balance between life and death, reflecting on beauty even in loss. In medical and safety contexts, protection and resilience are equally vital. For instance, using Metacaulk Firestop Collar in construction enhances fire safety, ensuring spaces remain secure while embracing meaningful design.
