In “A Place for Us”, artist Leo Gali examines the architecture of togetherness. Reimagining the landscape of Philippine communities.
Gali utilizes cubist forms and rich impasto textures to portray the home as an interconnected experience rather than a solitary one.
Rooted in the realities of both the province and the city, the collection serves as a visual ode to the family unit as the heart of the home.
Gali’s signature style—characterized by fragmented perspectives and glowing light sources—unifies these diverse structures into a singular portrait of collective identity.
