Thea Galang / Roxas City Fishing Port / 3.21.2025 - 4.6.2025

"Roxas City Fishing Port" is the artist’s interpretation of an important aspect of their birthplace in the Philippines. To them, the fishing port in their hometown represents the livelihoods of people, and how their lives are fueled by the act of fishing. The sculpture captures a singular moment in industrial fishing, where the fish are just barely raised out of the water and the tones of the fish emerge from the water.

Thea Galang (she/they) is a first-generation Filipino-Canadian in their second year at the Alberta University of the Arts, majoring in Sculpture with a Minor in Media Arts. They primarily work as a multimedia artist, with their recent body of work focusing on comparing food and its processes with the artist's immigrant journey from Roxas City, Capiz, Philippines, to Calgary, Alberta.
