Life in Manila | Art Fair Visit & Cooking at Home

Описание: It’s been a good week overall, though my doubts about work continue to grow. To take a break, I visit Art Fair Philippines, where I’m always struck by how the art scene balances beauty and pretension. Some works are stunning, others feel trapped in the idea that if it’s called “art,” then it must be good. These contrasts keep me coming back year after year. I end the day at home, cooking chicken biryani—without the rice, which makes it more like an aromatic chicken curry. A mix of art, food, and reflection rounds out the week.
