Art inspired from the waters
Five Kids
Photo taken by Liane Carlo Suelan
"2019. Magsaysay Park, Davao City. Atop a concrete barricade, five children gaze at the seascape — the open waters, the lapping waves, the black sand, the sea vessels, and the distant island. They watch together under the scorching sun, unbothered."
"Waters are essential not just in life but as a medium of inspiration to create magnificent works of art. It is something that we should protect and at the same time celebrate"
