The Parol series are light works in the image of Filipino Parol lanterns, star-shaped Christmas lights linked to the nation's Spanish and American colonial periods and are a reference to the North Star used in navigation and way-finding.

To create the works a model of an individual star was built in a 3D rendering software, which became the basis for Parol #1 and #2.

The resulting work was then photographed using a kaleidoscope lens to create the form of the new, fractalized light structure of Parol #4. Together they are expressions of way-finding for the individual and the community.
