This artwork talks about the current Philippine government and how it adheres - but not limited to - extrajudicial killings. It has been shown in several news stories that the victims of these horrific incidents are wrapped with tape with a sign that signifies that he/she is a drug user/pusher. There are several, more humane ways to fight the fight against drugs and I think that the method we're currently using is the most flawed of it all.
Aldrich Maligsa produces artwork without an affinity to a single medium or material. He is best known for his award-winning artwork entitled Life Is and Full Of which raised questions in the Philippine Art Scene as to what the boundaries of art is. Maligsa frequently produces works that employ found objects and transcends them to a level that translates the impending cultural, social, and political situation his country faces. Maligsa’s works nod to the Dada and Minimalist movements. Filipino, b.1995, Cebu City, Cebu, based in Cebu City
