Queens and Bodies

/tw: r**e/

The female body is not inherently sexual. It's just a body, until given context.

I took great inspiration from "Walang R**e sa Bontok", a documentary that opened conversations about a society with no concept of r**e. It is a community where women can walk around with no clothes covering their breasts and still be highly regarded with respect.

Queen of Philippines (Mussaenda philippica) was included in the artwork since it seems fitting for the Bontoc people's treatment of women. It was said that during tribal wars, a woman would lift up her skirt and effectively ward off attacking warriors. This was to them, cosidered a bad omen - which contradicts the belief that r**e happens in times of conflict.

In a society where assault against women pervade every corner, it's hard to imagine one without. We CAN collectively overthrow the system. For a start, it's as simple as showing women the respect they deserve. Should be pretty easy without fragile masculine egos getting in the way?

This piece is for sale and is currently on display with other amazing artworks at SM Baguio, lower basement. Make sure to check the exhibit out if you can!

JUST IN. SOS Network Cebu says Lumad student Esmelito “Bugoy” Oribawan, among the Bakwit 7 detained in Cebu City, can no longer stand up nor talk as of Saturday. They claimed the 19 y.o. coughed blood on March 17 but has not received medical intervention since.

SOS Network Cebu says it might be from Bugoy's underlying medical conditions in the past. However, they stressed that they are not yet sure as Bugoy was allegedly not allowed to see a volunteer doctor during SOS Network's visit yesterday, March 20. | via Lorraine Ecarma/Rappler rappler.com/nation
