A student of modern abstraction, Tarlac-born Bernardo Pacquing (Thirteen Artists Award, 2000) provides a social commentary through the Rabbit Box in this evocative piece that pre-dates his renowned series, Hydrophonics. The rabbit box is used to provide shelter of the mammal to shield it from the elements in a tight and compact space. Pacquing utilizes the space of a rabbit box in this work in seeking spatial freedom from the confined space. In an ode to the likes of the works of Fernando Zóbel and Robert Rauschenberg of the 1950’s, Pacquing brings the spatial abstract space into the foray of urbanity with the aesthetics of zen-like qualities and minimalist feel.
