Though it is for some
Acrylic on used cartons, wooden handle
Placard: Signs Of The Times (Vargas Museum)
2011

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This work is part of a group exhibition that aims to make the public aware regarding the 18 concerns raised by the ILPS by examining placards as a form of material culture and as a mobile conveyor of protest. "Though it is for some" takes its cue from one of René Magritte's more famous paintings,
"The Treachery of Images". The statement "This is not a bed. Ito ay hindi kama." is written on cardboard to underline its (non)purpose while addressing the fact that this is not the case for most people in the streets.
