About the artwork: Like the textile industry that supported its immediate community, the heart distributes blood through the blood vessels to all body parts. It is a symbol of passion and care for the community, but also one of the most recognizable symbols in culture, representing various emotions, values and meanings. It stands for empathy, charity, generosity, love, sacrifice, courage, vitality—a metaphor for life and the human experience.
About the artist: Leeroy New is an artist-designer whose practice encompasses sculpture, film, theater, product design, fashion, and public art. As a response to the issue of art practitioners’ invisibility in the Philippines, New decided to cultivate a language for monumental public art. His immersive installations use a variety of found objects directly sourced from the immediate material culture of his current environment. His works have been installed all over the Philippines and around the world.
BUY ONE, DONATE BOOKS TO JUAN! Every purchase of this artful gift from this special collection is matched with book donations to children from disadvantaged communities in the Philippines in support of CANVAS' One Million Books for One Million Filipino Children Campaign.
