Rachel was born in Gaithersburg, MD (1987) and raised in Novato, CA. Who is the mirror, the seer, the muse, the vulture, the feeler, the shaman, the well, the sword, the receptacle? All are prospects: What is organic? What is intention? What is constructed? What is forced? What is recalled? What is foreseen? I have a natural curiosity for 'multicultural' ethos. Personally, as a human who can be described as a mixed Asian/ full American, Filipina, Filipina-American I do not hold to any conclusions. Recurring themes are inquiries in expression: selfhood? group identity? individuality? family? belonging? The magical quality of the camera as heirloom, heritage, and intuition, are the mechanisms and methodology, to which she explores the capacity of average scenes and occurrences, saturated with a beauty & mystery. Self taught with film, her first cameras were inherited from her grandparents. She often feels a tension in her vision, to reflect the times &/ what is ancient/spirited. Rachel is a fine art photographer and writer(/poet) based in New York City.
