Jeepney

My Jeepney series faces the conversation of its future due to the government’s push for modernisation. I exclusively work in black and white, so this series took me out of my comfort zone since Jeepney art is characterised by its use of bright colours and eye-catching designs. I feel for the artists and drivers who will be faced with financial difficulties and loss of tradition due to the push for newer vehicles. All seven of my Jeepney cars represent elements of home, tracing a journey from Laguna to Prahran.
