Lupain (12-Ply) is an ongoing series of photo works about landscape, memory and displacement. These images printed on metal were shot using an iPhone, crushed soft pastels, and 12-Ply medical gauze from CVS pharmacy. The process started from a hospital room in New Jersey.


"Lupain" is the Filipino/Tagalog word for land/lands.
