"A Filipina and Her Kalabaw"

This artwork depicts a Filipina with a kalabaw, the water buffalo that serves as the Philippines' national animal.

The kalabaw symbolises “strength, resilience, and the tireless spirit of hard-working Filipinos”. Subtle elements incorporated into the piece, such as the sun and stars from the Philippine flag, highlight national pride, while the sampaguita in her hair—a flower symbolising purity, humility, and strength. They add a touch of grace and cultural significance.
This piece is a heartfelt tribute to my roots, heritage, and the values that define our culture.
