SYMMETRY REDEFINED

Throughout most of my life, I always had the urge to achieve symmetry in everything I did. I needed the sense of balance to preserve my peace of mind and silence the voices in my head. But all that changed when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. After my mastectomy, I have had no choice but to tame the beast of compulsion. Thanks to the image that confronts me in the mirror everyday.

Now I am mastering the art of finding gratification in whatever comes my way. Symmetry can be subjective after all.

HEALING FLOWERS

HEALING FLOWERS
watercolor on paper


This painting was exhibited, along with others, at the Cebu Waterfront Hotel last 2000. The reason why it is very memorable for me is that the person who bought it did so for his mother who was dying of cancer. The painting seemed to have a healing effect on her.

Little did I know I would end up in my own cancer battle a few years later.
