“Dayang Dinaya”
Gouache, Poster Paint & Chalk Pastel
2021
Ang Pilipinas bago pa man masakop ng mga dayuhan ay mayroon ng yaman, kultura at identidad. Ang tagong yaman na ito’y umaakit sa kanila kung kaya’t hindi nila pinakawalan sa kanilang gapos ang Pilipinas; patuloy na gustong angkinin.
Tayong mga Pilipino naman ay nagpa-alipin–’di lumaban. Lumuhan, nawatak, nagalit atnawalan ng kapangyarihan gumawa ng desisyon para sa sarili. Unti-unting nawawala ang pagkakakilanlan, patuloy na hindi makawala.
