Description:
This video is about the rare color of the Filipino that is
seldom seen by the naked eye because of the turmoil and the extreme
poverty. It can only be seen by the heart. A heart for God and a heart
for country.
Our ancestors have sealed their conviction with blood. We are called
not only to die but to live for our motherland.
The subjects of my canvas are these countrymen with rare colors.
Jesus lifts up the tattered flag of a country that has been ripped
apart for 400 years of exploitation, poverty and strife. Though it
remains a cradle of life and abundance, its people suffer of
deprivation and are continuously being raped of their identity, pride,
and culture. What remains of the race is abandoned and left for dead in
the desert.
The pain and suffering of his people are etched on the countenance of
Jesus. But His stance is upright and his grip is firm. We are in His
love and mercy that unites us, strengthens us from the shackles of
fear, helplessness and hopelessness.
