"The Heart of Understanding."
Artist
Ian Christopher R. MangaoangDescription
"My work is driven by a desire to slow down and listen to the stories held within landscapes. Growing up close to the mountains, I learned early on that nature keeps quiet records of weather, memory, footsteps, and time, and film became the medium that allowed me to translate that subtle world into images. I’m drawn to places where presence meets silence, where the land reveals both its resilience and fragility. Through a contemplative approach to light, atmosphere, and texture, I aim to create photographs that serve as traces of lived experience, evidence not just of place, but of the emotional and spiritual weight it carries."Try it!
