From Fire To Sea-Bicol Philippines Sumi-e Poster

Three panels. One story. The complete soul of Bicol told in ink. The left panel opens on the ruins of Cagsawa — the volcanic stone bell tower swallowed by cogon grass and fern, a lone figure in salakot hat standing before the weight of history. The centre panel breathes open into the Bicol lowland plain, a farmer and carabao working the rice paddies beneath the perfect symmetrical cone of Mayon — the most beautiful and most dangerous mountain in the Philippines. The right panel resolves on the Albay Gulf, bangka fishing boats on still water, coconut palms leaning towards the open sea. Ruins. Land. Sea. The complete arc of the Bicolano story rendered in authentic sumi-e ink wash with a continuous indigenous Filipino geometric border in warm gold across the top and the volcanic cone of Mayon flowing as one unbroken mountain through all three panels. For every Bicolano who carries these landscapes in their chest wherever they go. Available as triptych, metal print, acrylic print, and poster.
