Catalogue for artist Lirio Salvador’s exhibit Sandata, at the University of the Philippines Vargas Museum

The intersection between the visual and the musical, the industrial and the folk lies at the transdisciplinary talent of the artist who ensures a wider scope of making and making people move. And if we reflect on the process of how material and affect converge , we will inevitably be led to how particle of the alloy used in plating everyday objects are ingested in our systems through the food we eat and the vessels on which they are served and how the waves of sound pervade the air that becomes our rhythm to which we dream.
