Ayka Go explores nature and transformation in new Silverlens Manila series

Ayka Go's new series at Silverlens Manila marks a major shift from her signature creased paper forms to an outward focus on the natural world. During a quiet period in 2025, she cultivated a garden at her studio, growing fruit trees and flowering plants that attracted butterflies, caterpillars, and dragonflies. Observing cycles of growth, decay, and renewal, she became fascinated by butterfly wings, examining their intricate structures under a microscope. The series uses nature as a framework to contemplate self-transformation.
