Intersection Memory by Taufic Ermas

Acrylic on Modified Canvas 60x50cm

Taken from Art Fair Philippines 2026


Two rooms.
Two chairs.
Two figures cut from silence.

Light enters one window softly.
The other waits in shadow.

They do not touch.
They do not speak.

Yet something lingers
between canvas and air —

a thread
stretched across distance,
pulled by memory.

We have all sat in rooms
with someone who was not there.

And still,
we felt them.

Writer’s point in using the artwork is as poetry inspiration only.


If this reflection resonated with you, this was only one of the many works that stayed with me during Art Fair Philippines 2026. The fair felt less like an exhibit and more like a creative homecoming — a reminder of why art continues to matter.
