These statues will always be found when you’re on a roadtrip. You’d come across them whilde driving along SLEX or NLEX. It’s the stature for Eternal Gardens. Guillermo Tolentino especiially made this creepy yet cool work of art.

The Formal Elements used would be Lines because they kind of make the form of the statue, Organic shape cause it’s in the form of a human and tactile Texture.

The Principles of Design would be Unity because the statue looks whole, Balance because it can stand on it’s own and it’s asymmetrical because my eyes say the from is sort of skewed but the brain is registering overall balance, Emphasis because it’s first thing you see and it really captures your eye, and of course Hierarchical scaling. The style used is Realistic art and the form is three dimensional bronze sculpture.
