This is homage to the people who suffered a terrible fate during Zamboanga's massacre of Filipino farmers. They were rallying for rice as they have little to feed themselves since it all goes to commercial and capitalists. Instead of giving them what they needed, the police officers gave them what they "deserved": bullets. Thus, this artwork represents the usual meal a Filipino eats but with a twist.
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
