Jonathan Joven captures the unbreakable spirit of the Filipino working class through a deeply personal lens in Good Morning, his exhibition of recent works.
Inspired by his own father, 'Tay Jun's' tireless hustle across countless jobs — from porter to stevedore to pedicab driver, street food vendor, electrician, carpenter, and all-around handyman — Joven creates an homage to the everyday heroes of Manila, those who labor quietly, often unseen, in the gritty heart of the city.
