For where the woman speaks and where the woman soars and where the woman roars.

In 2004, these pieces were exhibited in a solo show entitled Babae (Womyn) at the now defunct Siwang Gallery in E. Rodriguez Avenue in Quezon City. Babae is the artist's exploration of a woman through her body. The woman in her body and how society impose her realities as she experienced and witnessed it. Here, Ligaya does this by using Barbie dolls to create the metaphor of the body as the deliberate use of the archetype of a woman in different spheres of society; the home, the media, the work place. Drawing from her memories of playing with Barbie dolls from her childhood. She uses its images to tell the story of women she witnessed in her life, a friend, her mother, an suspecting stranger she encounters in a street corner.

Collage Series 2008

Three Hearts 2008, 8x10

Blue Heart 2008, 8x10



Collage Series 2008

This is a series of collage that I worked on this December intended to be gifts for very special friends. I turned them to Christmas cards.

I was inspired by creating minimalist abstractions here, just making room for a lot of spaces and just adding a few elements. I played with various pastel colors mainly because this was the only available palette to me at the time I was making them when I got the set of construction paper from National Bookstore and added some newspapers.
