The artwork merges historical photographs and drawings, showcasing the naturalistic style unique to the artist.

It recounts the historical encounter between Lapu-Lapu and Ferdinand Magellan, emphasizing the latter's challenges upon arriving in the Philippines and the eventual conflicts that followed.

Japanese Occupation and Women's Empowerment

The exhibition addresses the impact of the Japanese occupation, highlighting artists like Julia Samonte and others who worked during this tumultuous period. It also emphasizes women's contributions to the fight for independence and democracy, showcasing historical figures and movements that played critical roles during the martial law era.

Thematic Focus on Chinese Influence

The significance of women's empowerment is emphasized through artworks illustrating their contributions towards independence and democracy.
