Mga Biyahe
Mga Biyahe is a makeshift bangka, or traditional Filipino outrigger boat. The cardboard vessel underscores the fragility of migration, as it would be incapable of floating on water.
The gamble of migration means leaving home to be in the unknown, without any certainty of what lies beyond the horizon. It is a bet on an uncertain future, one that might take you away from the people, places, and ways of life you know best. The outcomes are as unpredictable as the tides.
