David’s vision is based on the belief that real beauty needs time to grow and that character is shaped by edges and flaws, and that character develops only when time has the chance to put its marks on something. In his early career, David focused primarily on portraits of people and expanded his portfolio with walls later on. His photos of dirty and decayed walls from over 20 countries are very colorful and full of texture. All displayed works at the exhibition are from the Philippines.
