Kapit Lang exhibition at the Eskinita Art Gallery are recent paintings by Miel dwelling deeper in our ongoing cultural quagmire. Doubly interpreting the imperial cross as false faith in the name of religion as against the inverted sword to connote kapit sa patalim, Miel essays our clinginess to our adapted dubious habits to blatant corruption and evil ways either way brought about by long years of Catholicism just to achieve our shady ends.

Because of their profound impact on how society is shaped, artists have always been regarded as the vanguard of social change and progressive reform. And now more than ever, as we are facing the twilight of a make or break system of governance, artists can only do so much to make sure that we gravitate towards a leader that recognizes and respects our individual rights and civil liberties.
