A series of contemporary Baybayin typography experiments — words and vowels tested by hand across paper, wood, and black ground, in honor of the Philippine Month of Language.
"Discovering Today, by Practicing the Past"
Calligraphy & concept — David Oro, Studio SARISARI
Baybayin is usually approached as a script to be recovered — read for its history, honored for its survival. This series treats it instead as a live typographic system: forms still being tested, stretched, and rebuilt by hand.
Some pieces are on watercolor paper, some on wood panel, some in white acrylic on black. Same hand, same words, different ground each time — just seeing what happens.
The Pieces
12 originals · one of a kind
Cards are sized proportionally to each piece's actual framed dimensions — larger frames appear larger here, just as they will on the wall.
All purchased pieces will be available after the exhibit closes. Local pickup or drop-off can be arranged individually.
