About the Exhibition:
Silver Eye is proud to announce Tears, Blood, Sweat, a solo exhibition by Ryan Frigillana. The exhibition explores how histories of migration, memory, faith, and labor shape identity and belonging amid changing political realities. Drawing on his experience as a first‑generation Filipino American, Frigillana reconsiders the American Dream through photography, collage, reworked biblical illustrations, appropriated news imagery, and intimate observations of family and place.
About the Artist:
Ryan Frigillana (b. Iligan City, Philippines) is a lens‑based artist working between Long Island, New York, and Southaven, Mississippi. He combines photographs with reworked materials—including print media, family and public archives, and biblical illustrations from his childhood—to address the tensions and continuities of diaspora and faith. He approaches photography as a form of evidence, allegory, and prayer: as record, symbol, and confession.
