The Makers Project explores modern creativity across categories, celebrates intrinsic values and thoughtful processes of making. It unpacks the uniquely human elements that elevate the ‘great to the exceptional’. The brand commissioned six Southeast Asian artists to create six unique art pieces that represent and embody the heart of their country.
In celebration of their shared rich heritage and a spirit of craftsmanship, each artist brings together their own cultural identities in conjunction with a wealth of experience and regional representation – from Singapore, to Thailand to Malaysia to Vietnam to Indonesia and the Philippines.
”PRESERVING THE PRECIOUS”
by Daryl Feril, The Philippines
To showcase the Heart of the Philippines, the artist features the country’s exotic flora and fauna. It comes from a passion to preserve the rare and wonderful, much like the commitment to craftsmanship that defines the distinct character of The Balvenie.
