Hi, I'm Thea Jhem P. Dakila.

But you can call me Tay.

Born in the Philippines, raised in Sarasota, Florida, and now based in the Orlando area, I find myself continually on the pursuit to give a definitive answer to the question:

What is home?

What I aim to depict in the photos I take is that longing for something beyond what we see on a screen. I find pure fulfillment in sharing how I feel with you, so that you can feel with me too.

As someone dear and not-so-near to me once said:

"Home gets bigger the further away you are from it"

and I want to paint this globe red with you,

Let's set something on fire.
