Incandescent: HEATWAVE celebrates creativity as the spark that grows and blazes through imagination and collaboration, driving every artist’s journey. The exhibit showcases works from 72 graduating Benilde Multimedia Arts students, whose designs radiate passion and purpose, demonstrating their drive to create without limits.
Happening at the 10th Floor, Design and Arts Campus of the De La Salle–College of Saint Benilde from November 20 to November 22, the exhibit will feature a diverse collection of outputs, including, but not limited to, graphic design and illustration, video and motion graphics, photography and digital art, and interactive media projects and installations.
The exhibit’s theme, HEATWAVE, captures the collective energy behind the students’ passion. It embodies the intense passion that fuels every creative pursuit — one that radiates, influences, and inspires everything it touches.
Serving as the culmination of the students’ journey through the Multimedia Arts program, the exhibit showcases their development as artists and designers through works that explore personal expression, technical skill, and visual storytelling. It reflects how heat, pressure, and passion shape both art and the artist, bringing together diverse creative voices in an expressive collective showcase.
Each piece captures a story of inspiration, blending craft and emotion in every line, texture, and idea. As Benildean artists continue to push boundaries and redefine what it means to create, the exhibit stands as a testament that creativity does not just exist; it sparks, burns, and connects.
The artworks aim to represent the artists’ exploration of visual communication, emotional storytelling, and conceptual thinking, tied together through the shared theme of intensity, transformation, and self-expression.
“As one force, we hope that our works will deliver a momentum that is dynamic, powerful, and ever-spreading, like a surge of creativity that connects every artist, idea, and emotion in one shared movement.”
The exhibit is led by exhibit director Patricia Ann Tumang and creative director Joseph Gerard C Bamba, together with project advisers Mr. Paul Samonte and Ms. Karen Flores, and multimedia arts chair Ms. Kat Juane. •
