SHANGHAI, 13 March 2025 – Filipina photographer-artist Ms. Wawi Navarroza visited Shanghai in support of her exhibit of photographic artwork at the Fotografiska Contemporary Museum of Photography, Art and Culture, Shanghai.

Entitled “Wild at Heart”, the photo exhibit features photographs from Ms. Navarroza’s most recent collection of work. Most of the art pieces on display at Fotografiska are self-portraiture with the artist herself the key figure in the portraits, incorporating playful and colorful intermingling of fabrics, tropical plants and fruits and objects closely associated with Philippine culture like the balikbayan box and pearl necklaces (Pearl of the Orient). 

Ms. Navarroza’s colorful self-portrait artwork reflects her female identity and her life experiences as a female Filipino artist and expatriate, having lived in Madrid and Istanbul during her journey as a photograph artist. Her artwork’s depth lies in the complexity of the use of color, fabrics and numerous everyday objects arranged in abundance, compelling the viewer to transfix themselves in appreciating the entirety of the photograph while dissecting the numerous details.

Her art exhibit will remain at Fotografiska until July 2025.
