In video stills I took recently in the Lanao provinces, textiles hang in clotheslines and window sills. In Marawi City, a hijabi Muslimah gathers fresh laundry. She lives in one of the settlements created by the State after the 2017 siege. Years later, hundreds of families still reside in this supposedly temporary shelter. In Munai, Lanao del Norte, houses surround the community where several armed groups were birthed.

Colorful bed coverings dance in the mountain breeze. To be draped over a family sleeping soundly, for the time being.

I found paper and adhesive to be a tactile practice 
that helped to set memories onto a surface. This also calls to mind the tomes of scrapbooks at PKL at the ready. The idea of replication is an ode to the source material: never the same across hardware, software, human intervention, and time. The process employed, in this order: video, After Effects, projection mapping, photograph, printing, photocopying (a photocopy of a photocopy of a photocopy...), image transfer on textile].

Changing, being changed, informing each other.

In their multiplicity, there is my longing that the memories-onto-objects become valuable not just to the person attempting to save the intangible.
