Speak Soon, Residents at Oldfield (2025)

Exhibited at the London College of Communication Graduate Showcase.

20x20cm Framed Digital C-type Prints and Photo Book Display.


This project explores the current lives of senior residents at Oldfield Estate in Primrose Hill, one of whom is Olive’s aunt. As one of several estates that promote independent senior living in London, Oldfield Estate enables residents to maintain control over their spaces and daily routines. 

Through photographs and handwritten letters, the project captures their experiences, personal histories, and perspectives. By challenging the common association of ageing with dependency and the need for constant care, Olive’s work offers a parallel narrative in which seniors continue to live autonomously and shape their environments on their own terms.

Presented as a handmade photo book, the work shares an intimate portrait of the residents and celebrates the independence they continue to uphold.

Welcome to Chatsworth (2023-) 

Exhibited at the Copeland Gallery, London, UK in 2023.

A4 Digital C-type Prints and Postcard Display.


Chatsworth is my hometown. It is a small suburban neighborhood within Los Angeles, California, and roughly three miles in diameter. The environment is virtually stuck in some 1950s American western film but with a Mexican flare.

People typically associate Los Angeles (L.A.) with sandy beaches along the Pacific Ocean, the glitz and glam of Hollywood’s celebrities, and traffic-jammed highways full of cars day and night. Chatsworth is the exact opposite, situated away from the ocean and more inland into the San Fernando Valley and surrounded by the Santa Susana Mountains. It is essentially a sleepy town and almost invisible in that it could easily be missed. 

This is home.

FILI (2021-)


Filipinos may often be assumed to be Chinese, Japanese or Vietnamese. We evidently are a minority ethnicity within the UK, and thus overlooked.

‍This is an ongoing project documenting Filipinos who currently live in London to highlight our diverse presence.




wherewereu (2017)

Exhibited at Chinatown Soup, New York, NY in 2017.

A3 Photo Prints and Projected Film.


This series explores the demise of the relationship that I had with my father when I was younger. 

Each photograph of the series emulates a feeling I experienced at the time. The project ultimately evokes a positive feeling of closure, acceptance of the past, and determination to move forward.

‍Along with my photo series, I wrote and directed a short film.
