Melissa YEUNG YAP | A Place To Grow (Philippine Florals) | Acrylic Paint, T'nalak Handloomed Textile | 190 x 160 cm | 2026

Rooted in the richness of Philippine flora, A Place To Grow reflects on the environments that shape identity and belonging. Painted blooms emerge alongside handwoven T'nalak, bringing together natural and cultural landscapes as symbols of growth, resilience, and inherited memory. The work suggests that the places we inhabit and the traditions we carry continue to nurture who we become.
