Marina Cruz, who was born in Hagonoy, Bulacan, Philippines in 1982, won the Ateneo Art Awards in 2008 for her work "Embroidered Landscape of My Mother’s Life", and this became her ticket to the international art world. Marina Cruz presents her creative artworks of more than 20 years in various media. Not only does she express her memory of her family through art, but she also uses other media, such as clothes, sculpture, photography, etc., to convey her personal interaction and reflection.

Some parts of the Philippines were ravaged by floods, and Marina Cruz’s house has experienced floods many times. However, she does not regard disaster as a dilemma, but transforms it into creative motivation, and then presents it in her works.
