As is quite common in this country, I couldn't find the name of the artist anywhere on the monument, but the plaque did have the name of the President during the time it was installed: Joseph Ejercito Estrada.

The legacy of a hundred years
The bronze sculpture Binhi ng Kalayaan (Seeds of Freedom) was installed at the Rizal Park during the Philippine Centennial in 1998. It is a monument dedicated to the men and women, many of whom are and will remain unknown to us, who fought for the freedom of the country against Spanish colonial rule. It also serves as a marker for the time capsule buried underneath it, which contains many documents and memorabilia related to the events of that great struggle.

What a striking piece of sculpture.
ReplyDeleteIt is too bad that the artist was not named. We need to know more about him (or her).
ReplyDeleteHilda, I hope I can be honest and say I don't like this sculpture of the elongated man... it's just not how I see Pinoys or any humans, really. But I appreciate the sentiment.
ReplyDeleteI think th artist who made this is very great..
