The Marshall Chronicles: Chapter 1
By Natalya Lagdameo

On view until October 4, 2025

📍Aphro, The Alley at Karrivin Plaza

Born from a doodle in a high school math class, Marshall is the oddball child of an alien father and a gumdrop mother. With his chubby body, spindly limbs, and endless changes of costume, he reflects Natalya Lagdameo’s love of playful contradictions, her instinct to explore identity through form, and as a way of releasing her inner “weird”.

Over time, Marshall has grown into an enduring character carrying that strangeness with humor, and turning him into a reminder that art can make the world lighter, stranger, and more joyful, one Marshall at a time.

MANO MANO marks 10 years of Studio 925, a school and shared creative space nurturing a new generation of bench jewelers and metalsmiths. In its first-ever studio exhibition, long-hidden works are brought into the light—each piece a quiet rebellion against mass production and a tribute to the hands that shaped them.

This exhibit is dedicated to Redenta “Eden” Villegas Arias.
