For Miko Tiu Laurel, each exhibition represents a distinct chapter of life. In their undergraduate exhibition Bahay Tsinoy (2018) at the Barbara Walters Gallery in Sarah Lawrence College, they explored themes of coming to terms with childhood trauma and the unique challenges of navigating their Chinese heritage in the Philippines. 

Tiu Laurel marked another milestone with his debut solo exhibition in Manila, OUTRÉ : [internal monologues of a celestial body] (2019) which paid homage to queer culture through a variety of mediums, along with documentation of drawings created during a period in Berlin (2017).
