A digital exploration of the pre-colonial Filipino script, Baybayin through re-imagined design artifacts in Filipino pop-culture.

My aim was to answer the call of “what ifs” echoed throughout history and to further conversation amongst Filipinos. As people go through the archives, I wanted them to really question: what if Baybayin still existed to this day, and what if it had been give the opportunity to evolve and grow?
The archive was built in the hope of building understanding on Baybayin’s history and the potential of this pre-colonial script in visually identifying Filipino voices and culture.
Rather than a cultural imposition for aesthetics, this exploration was an opportunity to imagine Baybayin’s place among our culture.
