In Your Eyes

This author recently attended the exhibition of artist Nikki Luna and Zean Cabangis " SHADE MY EYES AND I CAN SEE YOU" and was completely moved by the brilliant expositions and stories behind every creation.  Unlocking hidden truths and realities through artistic interpretations is successfully realized in this semiotically narrative unfolding.  Both paintings and installations had a thousand stories to tell and seemingly seemed like a cry for justice.  Voices can almost be heard within the stillness of each piece as if one can almost visualize screams in silence. An exhibit that one shouldn't miss and currently ongoing at the SIlverlens Gallery in Pasong Tamo Ext., this eye opener is definitely a voice that's meant to be heard.
