“Parallel” is a Group Exhibit by PJ Andayran, Raphael Carloto, Kendall Colindon, Christian Culangan, Maribel Magpoc, Clark Manalo, and Mark Martinez featuring painting as a lens through which we view limitless possibilities branching from our anxieties and hopes in this reality. We sometimes ask, “What if?”, fragmenting and fracturing the self and the world into millions of different spheres. Could history truly unfold differently if we chose another divergent path? Or do the fates have the ultimate power no matter our decisions? These musings tend to be a rabbit hole. Once you start wondering about a parallel self and world, you begin to relinquish this reality and have a desire for the utopian society in your mind.
