Ghosts

Don Bryan Bunag's works explore the concept of visualizing an internal landscape— an imagination of what his mind would look like if it were a place—as a representation of his state of mind.

For Bunag's upcoming exhibit, entitled Ghosts, he was trying to find a personal definition of a ghost. Since 2018, he has always gravitated toward using this word as the central idea of a specific show. But as someone who likes to plan, he did not rush it until he felt that his work and himself were aligned and ready to justify what he envisioned.

In his 8th solo exhibition, he intended to keep the works untitled. Giving an artwork a title might box it in terms of interpretation. Throughout his practice, he has always been combining traditional and modern methods in his art-making process, finding the balance between raw expression and deliberately implying a message, depicting simplicity yet suggesting complexity.
