Mga ala-alang kakabit ng delata, ginuhit ng Pinoy artist sa Adelaide

Isang lata ng ma-anghang na sardinas ang pinagsaluhan ng limang miyembro ng pamilya, ito ang naka ukit sa ala-ala ni Peter Francisco noong ginuhit niya ang '100 Cans of Resilience'.

Peter Francisco's first artwork, 'One Hundred Cans of Resilience' features a hundred cans of spicy sardines that his family of five shared when his parents didn't have enough money for food. The limited edition artwork sold-out early this year and was bought by patrons from different parts of the world. Credit: Peter Francisco

Key Points

• Para kay Peter Francisco bawat delata ay may kakabit na ala-ala sa buhay sa Pilipinas, ang lata ng sardina ay binubuksan sa panahon ng kagipitan habang ang lata ng fruit cocktail ay binubuksan sa panahon ng selebrasyon tulad ng birthday o fiesta.
• Para kay Peter Francisco ang sardinas ang simbolo ng Filipino resilience dahil madals itong pinagsasaluhan sa panahon ng kagipitan.
• Ang kanyang solo exhibit na pinamagatang 'De Lata' ay magbubukas sa ika-10 ng Oktubre sa Adelaide.

The company Ligo Sardines came across his initial work, 'One Hundred Cans of Resilience' and gifted his family in Laguna one hundred cans of Ligo Sardines; 'it was too much! We shared the hundred cans with our neighbours' shares Peter Francisco. Credit: Peter Francisco

For Filipinos living abroad, opening a can of de lata or canned good of sardines or corned beef is like opening or unlocking memories from home.
