Mebuyan Pulse by Leeroy New Luca Parolari and Sherif Koyes from New York NY and Manila Philippines Mebuyan Pulse is a floating constellation of spheres, part sanctuary, part beacon, hovering above the playa with pathways that thread through its clustered forms. A luminous ground sphere anchors the work at night, releasing patterned light and a slow "pulse" of sound and spoken word at set times, drawing people into a shared moment before the structure returns to quiet. The piece speaks to themes of migration, belonging, and the vulnerable space in between endings and beginnings. Inspired by the mythological Filipino goddess Mebuyan and by Leeroy New's Aliens of Manila artistic series, it offers a place to pause, gather, and feel whole.
