Deriving Meaning

  1. Duyan

This artwork by Nestor L. depicts a mother’s love for her child by providing what is due to the child even if they could barely live on three meals.

2. All Bunched Up In Boxes

This piece from Romina D. shows the society of the Philippines, that of which is dominated by the less fortunate. This specifically shows that kids just manage to live in tiny cardboard boxes since their families couldn’t really afford to provide shelter and ample daily necessities.

3. GANAP

I see this mural often whenever I take the MRT going to class. Looking further into this art, GANAP was actually created for Boysen and MMDA’s clean air act. Looking at the art itself, it shows how the Philippines, as a country and specifically Manila, progressed into a country where pollution is one of the main problems.
