“A Race of Angels” are three sculptural meditations on the precarities and wanderings of identity. Drawing inspiration from Franz Fanon’s famous quote, David Klöcker Ehrenstrahl’s painting via Twitter, the “cloud” as atmospheric and digital, my circus classes in the Arctic, and my own struggles as a Filipino, this collection attempts to distill, inscribe, and contain anger’s unlikely shapes.
