Guardians of the fruits

The bird symbolizes gratitude and joy, while the fruits represent a bountiful harvest—echoing the heart of the Pahiyas Festival: thanksgiving for nature’s blessings. This artwork invites the viewer to pause, listen, and appreciate the beauty of simplicity, growth, and balance between life and land.

Created using watercolor and color pen on paper, this piece is a celebration of Filipino rural life and nature’s generosity.
