Artist Statement

The idea of these pieces came into mind during the difficult time enduring the COVID-19 pandemic. The past few months being in the state of Movement Control Order (MCO) halted me from acquiring painting materials, hence, I chose these paint jars as my material. Combining collages of canvas with these jars, the visuals depicted my observation of what had happened during the early phase of MCO. In doing so, I incorporated symbols in conveying my thoughts on this issue. The first jar, “Routine Jar”, indicates activities that people have been doing during MCO such as discovering new hobbies, for instance, decorating rooms with plants and reading new books. The second jar is “Family Jar”. An effect of this pandemic is that some were unable to see family and friends as we have to practice social distancing. With these artworks, I am trying to express the adjusted ways of life we are now experiencing.
