Soler Santos’ photos showcased at MO_Space
THE ephemerality of nature takes the spotlight in Soler Santos’ photographs, which depict both the environment and humans who inhabit these spaces. His exhibit, On decay, raises questions about temporality, ecological vulnerability, and the relationship between humanity and its surroundings. The goal is for viewers to “sit with their perceptions of decay, and reconsider the thought of it as an endpoint, and reframe it, instead, as a site of meaning, memory, and aesthetic possibility.” The exhibit runs from May 31 to June 29 at MO_Space, Bonifacio High Street, BGC, Taguig.
