"Amalgamation of Tenderness" by Augustine Paredes explores different poetics of identity, vulnerability, and desire. Inspired by Pina fabric's role in Philippine history and post-colonial identity, this multi-media collection features images and paintings based on the artist's family archive from conflict-ridden Mindanao. These works are layered with fabrics like Pina and Cocoon Silk, sourced from the Philippines.

Augustine Paredes (b. 1994, Philippines) is a multi-disciplinary artist questioning what it means to desire in the light of migration, identity, and longing. Augustine works with image-making via photography, painting, poetry, performance, and installation.
