| Explanation | Many abnormal incidents had occurred during the implementation of martial law in the Philippines (1972-81). This work is based on an incident in which ten young men from Langoni village, Negros Occidental, who were playing basketball, were taken away by the military due to accusations of being communists and were then tortured by having their limbs amputated. It is said that one out of the ten men survived, resulting in this incident coming to light. The artist, who pursues social themes, mourns the victims in this work and quietly speaks of the violent aspects of state power and the absurdities of society. |
