Each country has its own unique culture, for this painting, the artist would like to emphasize on the artistic culture of the "Pabalat" by the Bulakeños. "Pabalat" is a traditional art orginated from the town of San Miguel, Bulacan in the Philippines; using colored Japanese papers, artists first draws the pattern into the paper before cutting it out. Pabalat is currently a dying-art as only a few people in San Miguel do this.
In the painting, the artist depicts two individuals reviving Pabalat in a modern way. There are 4 Pabalat patterns in the painting, each depicting a part of the Filipino culture of the three major islands of the Philippines: Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. The solid colored lines represents transition of the time and culture throughout the centuries.
