As a Filipino poet and creative, I draw inspiration from my multifaceted experiences as an architect, researcher, journalist, and writer. My poetry, found online and in six self-published chapbooks, tackles themes of identity and personal growth, seeking to inspire readers to pause and reflect on their own journeys, discovering beauty in the everyday. In 2017, I began writing short poetry diaries that chronicled my thoughts, beliefs, and hidden battles within my surroundings. By 2023, I merged my poetic practice with the burgeoning world of AI artistry, creating surreal, photosurrealist, and vivid illustrations to accompany my words. These digital pieces have since become visual diaries, capturing moments of my daily life in striking detail. Through this journey, I’ve come to realize that artistic expression offers a profound opportunity for healing. I hope to inspire others to see that they too can channel their stories into art, even if they’ve never considered themselves artists before. AI has gifted me the tools to bring my visions to life, and I believe it can do the same for others.
