The result is a tapestry of celebrations shaped by advocacy, imagination, and the diverse communities they represent.
In Uptown Bonifacio in Taguig City, a breathtaking 30-foot centerpiece rises at the heart of the mall. Designed by acclaimed Filipino fashion designer Michael Leyva, the installation is crafted from excess couture fabrics, leftover materials, and archival trimmings from his atelier. The tree takes on an ethereal form inspired by a celestial muse, its sculptural layers shaped from materials once destined for storage or disposal. Surrounding the glowing centerpiece are angel figures adorned with Leyva's archival pieces.
In Eastwood City in Quezon City, the newly revitalized Eastwood Mall Open Park transforms into a living gallery through "A Season of Light," an immersive holiday art walk illuminated by three visionary artists.
French-Filipino artist Olivia d'Aboville fills the open park with her celebrated Giant Dandelions, towering flower sculptures crafted from more than 10,000 recycled plastic bottles.
