OVER SEAS
In the beginning there was emptiness and "...darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the spirit of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters." (Genesis 1:2)
H20 is a most primal element. Liongoren Gallery's Walong Filipina series which has steered into environmental advocacy, now takes the theme of water, featuring eight outstanding Filipina artists who live abroad. The range of styles and statements about water vary: fro wonderment inspired by water's cosmic spiritual attributes, to homage to and gratitude for water as life-sustaining force, to critical comments on how humanity has abused the waters of our environment. All are bound by their ironic circumstance of being rooted and being overseas.
