By Force of Circumstances (Hidilyn Diaz Crushed Metal) (2023) was produced in collaboration with Hidilyn Diaz. A wall of massive aluminum sheets were contorted under the force of hulking barbells dropped by Diaz onto their surface. They carry a visual record of gravity, power, and energy and might be taken as a metaphor for her historic imprint on her country.
