Wiji Lacsamana

“Spirituality doesn't need to be a big, grand movement—it can also be this little hush...where we can breathe deeply and calmly and drown the noise of the outside world and our minds.”

Meet Wiji

Wiji Lacsamana (she/her) is an illustrator, tattoo artist, and reiki healer based in the Philippines. She has explored a wide range of creative endeavors, sharing her unique visions in imagery, books, oracle cards, and even limited-edition natural perfumes. Her commission for Adobe Stock is a series of illustrations celebrating a new era of Filipinos navigating the troubles of the world with beliefs and rituals that are both inherited and created.

Of her Artist Development Fund project, which will respond to the Beliefs & Rituals creative brief, Wiji says, “Our recent withdrawal from the outside world [during the pandemic] has provided us with space for expansion that begins with a better understanding of the roots we are tethered to. We have woven these rich traditions with the seemingly simpler daily rites that have helped us gain some version of inner peace and focus: these little moments that provide us with miniature doses of wonder.”
