My name is Reginald Balanga. I'm a Filipino-born Canadian interdisciplinary artist who works in sculpture, installation, drawing and photography to engage with the themes of memory, migratory grief and belonging. I use found objects, abstract forms and vibrant afterimages to create unexpected encounters, immersive spaces, and site-specific installations that remember, mourn and celebrate the ephemeral.
