This piece is rooted in bridging distance; left and right illustrate two time periods within the same Manila - a duality familar to diasporic identities. Depictions of a "commute," meaning a back and forth between a home and elsewhere, points to this always moving. Thus, the middleground is an imagined world, the collapse of these times and spaces into a singular "always caught in the going somewhere" - a persistent "in-between" beyond past and present.
