The painting on it's own is a gorgeous piece, just by looking at it you can sense the melancholic nature of it. When I read into the intentions however, it really allowed me to understand why it looks so bleak. The crushing amount of pressure that comes with the transition to adulthood is something that one cannot quite fathom. Living so much of your life as a kid and all you know is being a kid and once that is gone, to quote you, "is there enough time for the right path?" Being able to convey so many emotions into one painting is an incredible feat. I also love the title, "Don't Worry" since it's a two word phrase that puts the mind at ease, even if that relief is temporary.

I like your piece called "Comfort buds". Food connects people with each other and can transport us to old memories.

My favorite art piece of yours is the "Don't worry" piece.
I love your use of cool toned colors like black, blues, and greens to portray the feeling that many young adults have in common when transitioning into adulthood.

I like the art style. The mix of black and white portrait with bright background looks unique. It is a creative way to bring attention to racism and make social statement. The work with shades is done very neat.

I really loved your art piece, "Don't worry" and "Which one am i today?" because it connected to the struggles with the loss navigation of understanding positive or negative emotions on the which one am i today piece. I also liked the black figure included to represent the pressure of becoming an adult and choosing a path to take!

The themes you were able to communicate through your piece "Comfort Piece," I could relate heavily with, as someone whose connection with their culture is also extremely tied to cultural food, I appreciated the nuance with which you mentioned how everyone defines home differently, and how that translates to this piece. I also enjoyed the composition---the way in which the dishes are arranged reminded me, funnily enough, of buds, or flowers, while the flag was reminiscent of a flowing river.

I really loved the food piece that was done, incorporating culture within art is so beautiful and i found the art really nice. the shading and the blacked out background really made it pop out.

The way you blend and shade brings a lot of texture into your artwork, especially with the graphite shading. Your use of white space is also very pleasing to see, as backgrounds tend to be very difficult to fill in, but you did so without taking away from the main center of focus. You have a good eye.

I'm amazed by the themes you used your art to communicate! I'd like to ask what inspiration you had for the individual artistic pieces of the work, like where did you get the idea to place large black and white figures in the foreground of several of your pieces?

The Filipino culture shines especially in the piece called "Home". I think using foods to display Filipino culture is genius because food is the perfect example of what makes up Filipino culture. I also really appreciate bringing real world issues within your art. I feel like each piece is completely unique from each other and truly displays your skills as an artist.

I love how you chose to portray the concept of home by painting a table laden with the foods you and your family know and love. It is a masterful painting!

I like your piece on home, how food represents home to you and I agree with you on that. Home isn't always a place, it can be something that really feels heart warming to you. Also I'm a Filipina too! I got so hungry when I saw the Halo Halo dessert haha. -Theiara
