30 Coats of Arms for Philippine Icons
Emblems to hang in the hall of heroes
I did not get to know as a child
Context
In essence, a coat of arms is an ornate piece of branding that represents a person’s life work and legacy.
Coats of arms traditionally uphold European heraldry and Western power. This project, however, seeks to impart the same deep respect and admiration for Filipino icons throughout history.
Personal Stake
As a young girl, I was under the spell of stories of royal princesses and valiant knights. However, I never got to feel the might of my birthright. I never understood the magnitude of the blood of my soil until I learned the stories for myself.
Now, I have the chance to give my personal journey a hall of heroes.
