Musonium Gallery is pleased to present SPF: SUMMER PROMISES FALL, new works by Froilan Calayag centered around the ephemeral beauty found in the transition from summer to autumn. Delightfully playful in nature, the works explore not only the vibrant visual changes in colors but also the emotional undertones that accompany this seasonal shift. Through various child-like representations echoing a sense of nostalgia for the summer breaks experienced in youth, Calayag suggests a reflection on the expectations and realties of time. Summer often represents a period of vibrant life, energy, and perhaps unrealized potential or "promises". The fall, then is the inevitable end to that and the start of a new change, bringing a sense of sentimentality or even melancholy as the warmth fades. Calayag captures these transient moments and feelings, inviting viewers to reflect on their own experiences of change and the beauty inherent in impermanence, forming communications aimed at evoking the emotional weight of seasonal transformation. Every vibrant beginning is a reminder of the whisper that lies around the corner of what is to come, as surely summer promises fall.
