Alon ng buhay
Where the lake meets the sea.
Alon ng Buhay (The Waves of Life) is a personal editorial project exploring my relationship with water, family and memory, between the Philippine seas and Lake Geneva.
Built from family photographs, an interview with my mother and a personal essay, the book traces the stories and experiences that have shaped this connection. Tagalog words appear alongside their Baybayin transliterations, while words related to water are set in capitals throughout the text, creating a recurring typographic thread that echoes the book’s central theme.
