As kids, they offered their gifts to Maria. For she will take them under her wing. Her home will influence their growth and how they interpret the world. Her mysticism will fuel their artmaking.

The working title denotes the (dragging) feeling of just trying to be productive for the day, working on and finishing one piece at a time; and taking life, one day at a time.
Melvene Aquende
This collection of work talks about impermanence and the knowledge that eventually, all things bloom then wither. There is then an appreciation of life when there is an acceptance of an end.
Jaime Pacena II

Rodel Jacintos
This series of works is a challenge to capture the freedom and the uncontrolled gesture of a man sleeping. It fascinates me as an artist to capture the design of the man’s body in sleep for it signifies an end of "chaos" and a sense of "hope" when one wakes up.
Kevin Roque

RV Basco
Over the next several months, I felt like I was sleepwalking, caught somewhere between the state of dreams and conscious awareness. The trauma and accompanying surge of emotions changed my belief system, and found expression in my art.

The pandemic was unsettling for everyone. It upended plans and schedules, and created much uncertainty and anxiety.
Jomike Tejido
Reconstruction through art—the ideology behind Re/Kunst/ruc, opens up a vibrant window of hope for better days.
