Banaca wrap artiste and multi-awarded fashion designer Ditta Sandico presents METTA – MORPHE an art exhibit featuring a series of deeply personal paintings that tell her story of recovery, rediscovery, and rebuilding.
Meticulously sculpted by hand, each painting is a joyful expression of a woman who is celebrating a second chance at life, blossoming out of a cocoon, and being wholly and unapologetically herself. Each woman is dressed in gracefully crafted indigenous fabric, woven by women of the Mangyan tribe and carefully draped by the designer’s expert hand.
With METTA – MORPHE, Sandico continues to push the boundaries of Philippine heritage by bringing architectural pieces made of banaca fabric and habol weaving to life, radically stretching the limits of what indigenous fabrics can do and what they can express in fashion and the arts.
METTA – MORPHE is available for viewing starting 26 May at the Dolce Ditta Gallery, No. 5 Mabolo St corner Balete Drive, New Manila, Quezon City.
