ABOUT THE WORK

Sculptor Eduardo Castrillo is known for defining the second wave of modernist sculpture in the Philippines. He creates figurative and abstract works using metals like bronze, copper and brass as well as non-traditional materials such as plexiglass, neon lights, ivory, and wood, all while applying his jewelry making skills. He shapes each metal medium using sheets, making his works more lighter and durable. His works are embedded with his nationalism and expression of Filipino virtues, as seen with his well-known works such as the People Power monument, The Spirit of EDSA monument and Inang Bayan Monument. In this specific sculpture, its structure is abnormal in nature all while free flowing and geometric in outline, making it an eyecatcher to the viewer. (M.D.V.)
