Philippine Goddess of Morning, Hanan, is waking up the last pine tree and transitioning it from winter to spring. The pine tree is seen as a sacred tree symbolizing protection and healing. This piece signifies new beginnings.
This piece was created on July 2022, specifically for Cactus Gallery’s Loteria VIII art show. I have been wanting to show my art at this gallery for years! Cactus Gallery is a local gallery, showcasing work from artists of different disciplines, both emerging and established. The gallery is Latina-owned and independently operated by Sandra Mastroianni, who stays dedicated in providing this space and supporting local artists.
This annual show is dedicated to Loteria, a popular game of chance from Mexico. I was assigned to the "El Pino" card 49. As with any art show that I do, I tend to focus Filipino references no matter what the theme is.
