Veronica Lazo (b. 1990) received her Bachelor in Fine Arts from the University of the Philippines, Diliman. An industrial designer, her works are commentaries that respond to current events and contexts of the times. From the intimacy of homeware to the monumentality of state, Lazo re-appropriates forms and images to highlight the contradictions of present-day situations. Her design practice aims for relatability and closeness of objects in relation to shared human experiences.
