Siren's Song
The siren ponders the fish in the aquarium.
Like the fish existing in their tank as though it was the wild, existing in their tank as though they are existing how they would in the wild, the siren performs authenticity. The siren performs intimacy like the fish looking out as we look in. Do they see us? Do we see them? The fish perform naturalness as the siren does; in voyeuristic proximity the expectation of performance is apparent as the expectation of the natural to lack performativity is also apparent. The fish perform wildness as the siren does, perceived as uncaged yet sensing the weight of gaze. The siren sees themself within.

i was never the siren
This film is the first installment of the overarching audio-visual performance work, Harana for the Aswang. Harana is a Filipinx serenade form rooted in courtship and grief rituals. The project reimagines and centralizes the narratives of Aswangan umbrella term for various shapeshifting, mythological, animist, folkloric, evil spirits and creatures in Filipino folklorethrough the lens of their queer and trans descendants. This excerpt in particular challenges and re-myths the Siren archetype, creating a polyphonic experience of voice, aspects of harana, poetic-intimacy, wrath, and states of kilig. This film is in honor of the sacred transsexuality and queerness through all timelines, a place for us to be swooned. To be seen in the defiant (im)possibilities of love and all that died in order for it to exist.

Infinite Resignation and Wallowing in your Own Filth
"Infinite Resignation and Wallowing in your Own Filth" is a darkly satirical short film that explores the suffocating routines of modern life through a collage of public domain educational and advertising clips. These vintage segments are repurposed to reflect the absurdity of consumer culture and societal expectations, juxtaposed against the protagonist's spiraling existential crisis. The film uses these clips as a surreal backdrop, amplifying the themes of detachment and sexuality, while shining a light on the hollow promises of a life dictated by commercialism and social conformity.

Divine Intervention
Divine Intervention explores the journey of a woman tormented by the entanglement of her hair, seeking solace through a spiritual guide. Together, they employ a unique technique to enter her consciousness, aiming to uncover the root of her distress. The Yuan Shen Palace, also known as the House of the Mind, is depicted as a virtual world constructed by the brain. If it truly exists, it might function like a vast organic hard drive, recording the intricate details of one's life. The film strives to rationalize magic and symbolize the process of spiritual healing.
