Kababaihan, kapangyarihan nyo ay kay ganda, hindi alintana ang ugat ng kabiguan

I made the artwork when I while I and my husband were stranded in Japan for three months.  This relief print is a 2nd edition from the original design that is used as an eco-bag design for SALA. The artwork is a collaboration idea with Naoko Kuroda for SALA's eco bad design http://kobe-sala.asia/ ,this is the vision that I saw while talking with the people inside SALA, connecting its vision, "Empowerment of all People". When I came back home last July, I had the chance to use the artwork and composed a poem with my daughter, the poem was published with Gabriela, National Alliance of Women organization.  The online project #BabaeBangon (Women Rise Up) Babae, Bangon! is a series about women valiantly moving forward as crisis after crisis batter their families and lives told through poems, songs, and visual arts. Hear original compositions of women; watch women - leaders, rights advocates, journalists, professionals, mothers, and daughters. Performance starting August 8 to 17 2020. https://www.facebook.com/gabriela.alliance/?__tn__=-UC*F

Kababaihan ngayong panahon ng karimlan kanya kanyang paraan para maisalba ang pamilya. nahihirapan sa buhay, araw araw ay may namamatay unang inaalala anak, magulang, kaibigan, mga mahal sa buhay bago ang sarili.

Kababaihan sa panahon ng kadiliman Hindi alam kung papaano ba isasalba ang pang araw araw na ihahain sa lamesa bawat oras ay nangangamba papaano na kaya sila. pinipilit na mabuhay, araw araw ay sinisilaban ang ilaw na pinatay ng mga  makapangyarihang hahari harian.

Malabong makamit ang kinakailangan, wala ring hakbang ang naghahari harian, Tibay ng kababaihan ngayong panahon tila’y nakalalamang Sapagkat ang mga lukayo ay walang pakinabang maraming daan ang binabaan, Marami ding binabaan na hindi naman naging daan.

Kababaihan ngayong panahon ng pandemya bagamat maraming pinag daraanan, hindi bumibigay sa udyok ng kabiguan Iba iba man ang uri ng kapangyarihan, nag kakaisang pinagtitibay ang kalakasan mga modernong babaylan kababaihang lumalaban sa mga makapangyarihan na ang tanging alam ay buhayin ang sarili lamang.
