Promete

Iggy Rodriguez

“Wretchedness precedes a promise. In burning silences where hope festers, heads are bowed and palms clenched up to oblivious skies.

Promete expounds on perplexities of desperate longing, of frenzied clutching in lieu of tangible progress. 𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘦– to promise – harks back to Rodriguez’s Chavacano roots, to growing up in Zamboanga City where both societal status and religion cut a gaping divide that only distance and introspection divulge. The exhibit is, in a sense, the artist’s self-scrutiny; methodical pen and brush strokes are a form of desperate worship as much as they are of systematic condemnation.”
