Iyo Kacaw was born in Makota’ay, a harbor tribe on the east coast. Since childhood, he enjoyed listening to elders telling stories and learned the life wisdom and cultural spirit of the Pangcah (Amis), cultivating gratitude and reverence for nature.

Iyo Kacaw has long been aware of the damage caused by humans to the natural environment and has continued to reflect his inner state in his creations. Through frequent scuba diving and dialogue with the ocean, he has persistently spoken up on marine environmental issues in his creations, attracting significant attention at home and abroad. In 2018, he won first prize in the International Forest Sculpture Festival, Belgium.
