With my western education, I first thought that history could only be exchanged in written text, spoken word, and recorded image. The main figure of this art piece is Apo Whang-od, a close to a century year old artist who keeps the tattooing culture of her people alive. With this art piece I want to honour her, and make others aware of what she represents.

Some artists find it difficult to be creative when you have so many “other things” going on in your life. In my case, I was not painting (for myself) for almost 8 years. To honour the many students I have taught, and my many nieces and nephews, I created this art piece. It incorporates the contemporary style that first drew me to creating art when I was young.

In the Filipino culture, a Lola (Grandmother) plays a central role. They are providers, caregivers, chefs, and rocks. I would argue to say that they are the backbone of most families. While riding on the TTC by St. Clair West station I was able to see a grandchild feed his Lola. It was double special because he was eating a chocolate bar. He took a few bites, but before he finished, he knew he had to share some with his Lola.

The TTC attracts a plethora of lovely moments. By trade, I am an educator, and the after school commute can be quite cumbersome after a long day. One day on the way back to my neighborhood in Jane and Finch, I saw a mother fall asleep at the front of the bus. Her young kids just patiently waited for her to wake up. No fuss, or plea for attention, they just sat there and let her get some rest. I thought it was a moment worth capturing.

You never know who you’ll meet in Toronto. The art of tattooing is a sacred, yet forgotten component to Visayan culture on the Philippine Islands. My family has always been interested in the practice but it is quite difficult getting first hand information. One day, at Wilson station, a gentleman came on whose loose shirt revealed a body decorated in tattoos. Our train was delayed so I worked up the courage to talk to him. I asked if I could take a picture of him, and he gently refused. This piece is inspired by our conversation. It’s a memory that I would not like to forget
