Philadelphia, PA

Graphic Design / Mixed Media

Ashya creates chaotic abstractions as a way to process their thoughts and lived experiences. In Cohort 3, they utilized mixed media collages to explore the complexities of generational trauma stemming from political oppression of Filipino migrants and the beauty of collective resistance. Currently, they are making flyers for local musicians as a side gig, but will be leaning into expressing darker emotions on themes of power, violence, mental illness, and death for their future personal projects.
