"Sendong"
2011
Watercolour
This painting was from a photo I took days after Sendong made havoc to Cagayan De Oro, Philippines. On December 2011, a village in Macasandig was literally obliterated and washed to the sea. It was a very sad Christmas for the villagers. We were there to extend our aid and share our blessings. As my family was preoccupied with the distribution, we managed to take some shots of the scene. We noticed a figure from a distance. It was a boy carrying scraps or whatever was left from the devastation. His eyes speaks of fear and uncertainty. It really was a heart breaking scene.
