“On the verge of burnout, the mind tends to just let go, give up, or relax, in my case at least. This batch of works is a product of such a state.”

Kiko Escora’s “Hayahay Blend” is a collection of works that beautifully capture the essence of surrendering to the verge of burnout. In this state of mental exhaustion, the artist delves into a realm where creativity flows freely, unhindered by the constraints of everyday life.

It’s as if the artist has found solace in the chaos, an oasis of creativity amid the desert of exhaustion, conveying the delicate balance between surrender and control. Kiko Escora’s exhibition shows the power of embracing vulnerability and letting the mind wander, resulting in a unique blend of emotions and ideas that infuse these artworks with a profound sense of raw authenticity.

This is a testament to the human spirit’s resilience, proving that even in our most vulnerable moments, we can find beauty and inspiration. “HAYAHAY BLEND” invites you to embrace the artistic journey that unfolds when the mind teeters on the edge of exhaustion.
