Moving forward to this year, marked by a global pandemic and localized lockdowns, Pastrana has found himself working in another art space--this time, in isolation, and in a studio at Calle Wright, Malate, while the rest of the world’s art programs and exhibitions have seemingly come to a pause. This compelled him to confront more intensively this material left at his disposal—his usual respite from more conceptual work—his paper cuttings, his collages. They became for him, during confinement, the moment's medium. And it was in this moment, where the proclivity for making collage also required careful introspection and consideration.

In “Celestial Data for Daydreaming”, Chati Coronel engages her curiosity and passion for cosmology to explore the ephemeral and the eternal. Each piece is titled after one of the seven classical planets of ancient Greece. While she worked on this series, she listened to a playlist that moved her to ponder the skies and our place in the world.
