TADHANA or Fate according to Merriam dictionary is

TADHANA or Fate according to Merriam dictionary is “an inevitable and often adverse outcome, condition, or end”. The exhibition is inspired by the “Bahala Na” culture that is prevalent in the Filipino society. To many Filipinos the general approach to life is of acceptance. ‘Bahala na’ (come what may) which captures the strong belief among many Filipinos that whatever may happen is a part of God’s will. Any individual or group success is often attributed to fate or God rather than efforts. This indicates a fatalistic attitude throughout society whereby Filipinos are generally accepting of theirs and others circumstances.

As an immigrant, it is very common concept that "fate brought us here" and the most common outlook of "bahala na" / "come what may" attitude is prevalent to anyone. However these attitude is not only a visible trait for immigrants alone, these are actually a day to day outlook of everyone just varying on expression and terms. The exhibiton aims to finds parallels within culture to create better understanding of each and everyone’s' disposition in life.

These bodies of work will explore ideas of “fate” while relating it to the quest for hierarchy of the modern society. We live in a time that is always hungry for accomplishment, results and evidence of success, I want to elaborate the significance of fate thru commentaries using imagery of reimagined folklore of my culture in order to give new meaning on how fate will lead us to one’s self discovery and freedom.
