“In a world that rarely stops moving, finding time to slow down has become both an act of self-care and a luxury. On 24 August, the light-filled twelfth-floor gallery at De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde (DLS-CSB)’s Design + Arts Campus became the setting for the vernissage of “pause,” a spatial installation by interior designer Cecil P. Ravelas.

Commissioned by the college’s Center for Campus Exhibitions (CCX), the architectural dome asks visitors not merely to observe but to enter, inhabit, and experience it.”

“What if you gave yourself a little room to breathe, reflect, and reconnect? Dr. Cecil P. Ravelas invites us to do just that through an experiential design installation at De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde (DLS-CSB). Built with raw, simple materials, the dome-like structure demonstrates that healing environments should be accessible to everyone.

The installation occupies a vast space on the 12th-floor Gallery of the Design + Arts Campus. This placement directly articulates the college’s initiative to create safe, healing environments for students. Furthermore, Ravelas clarifies that pause. isn’t a static exhibit. Because it features an active schedule of wellness programs.”

What if you gave yourself a little room to breathe, reflect, and reconnect? 🌀

As part of Pause, the Benilde Wellbeing Center offers five ways to pause every Thursday. 🗓️

Through reflection, making, writing, or simply letting go, these activities invite you to step away from the pace of everyday life and give yourself permission to pause.

Every Thursday

What if a space asked nothing of you but to breathe? 🍃

“Pause” creates a space for slowing down, resting, and simply being. Featuring Hinga by IDr. Cecil P. Ravelas, the exhibition invites the audience to pause within the rhythm of everyday life—to slow down, breathe, and become aware of the quiet influence of their surroundings. It is a contemplative spatial experience rooted in the belief that spaces hold energy and shape how we feel. 🧘

Pause is presented by the Center for Campus Exhibitions (CCX) and RED Interior Design, through IDr. Cecil P. Ravelas, in collaboration with the Benilde Wellbeing Center (BWC).

Through BWC, Pause will also host guided wellness activities every Thursday throughout the exhibition run, offering different ways to slow down, breathe, and reconnect.

Exhibition Run
Until 30 September 2026
Mondays to Fridays, 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM

“You enter the De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde (DLS-CSB) Design + Arts Campus at the 14th floor to a mezzanine overlooking some 130 posters displayed down below on angled tables, like library periodicals. ‘Collecting the Moment: Art Exhibitions in Print’ is literally an overview of two decades in which pioneering art critic Purita Kalaw-Ledesma amassed exhibit posters spanning 1970 to 1989—two decades, not incidentally, under the watchful eye of martial law, in which Philippine art was nonetheless marching along to its own rhythms.

Seen from above, it’s an eye-catching macro view, and you spot Dindin Araneta, current director of the Benilde Center for Campus Exhibitions, as well as Gabbie Lichauco, also a Benilde instructor and the designer of the exhibit’s unique look.”
