“I’m at the moment exploring a theme of therapeutic, significantly throughout the aftermath of grief or trauma, and the methods it takes place or is presumably hindered, amidst order and ritual. The Philippines and its programs function round conservatism and faith.

What half do rituals, traditions, and norms play when dealing with any kind of battle? There may be each immense rigidity and sweetness on this expertise as we make sense of issues and transfer ahead.”
