Mei Afable grew up between Davao and Manila, finding early inspiration in the natural world around her. When she moved to Manila’s busy streets to study, the city’s energy created a striking contrast with her peaceful childhood memories—a tension that now defines her work.

Her art explores the human condition through themes of fragility and resilience. Like nature’s rhythms, her pieces examine growth, survival, and life’s fleeting moments.

Through her work, Mei seeks to connect viewers to our shared humanity and the transient beauty that surrounds us.
