In Someone to Watch Over Me, Louie Bretaña explores the profound relationship between man and the natural world manifested through ancestral spirits (anito), a connection central to indigenous Filipino cosmology. Through this body of work, Bretaña navigates the intersection of historical reverence and contemporary artistic expression, invoking ancestral and nature deities (diwata) as protective presences. His use of glass crystals and glitter extends beyond aesthetic embellishment; these materials function as symbols of reverence, illuminating the enduring spiritual ties that shape Filipino cultural identity.1 Ponsonby Road
