A series of skyscapes is presented in Renz Baluyot’s solo exhibition. The artist remembers Amado V. Hernandez’s “Isang Dipang Langit”, a poem written while Hernandez was imprisoned for his revolutionary writings. The poet writes, “And tomorrow, in this very place, I will see an arm’s length piece of the sky with no more tears, the golden sun of victory will shine.”

In this time of uncertainty and grief, Baluyot’s “Awaiting” expresses how things are held together with the situation at hand: beneath these blue skies and golden rays of the sun are lives awaiting redemption.
