Once Lived in Flesh confronts traditional beliefs and conservative values toward religion, gender, and sexuality. It peers into the structures that define our perceptions and attitudes of hegemonic practices, examining the destruction of womanhood under the patriarchy, the colonial roots of corporal punishment and how it seeps into domestic spaces, and the alienation of those whose gender and sexuality do not conform to heteronormativity. Through each work, subversions are created to disrupt the narratives that perpetuate within Filipino culture, in an attempt to criticize and transform the physicalities and behaviors that uphold the conventions of our communities.
