Description

Not much is known about the Mangyan people. They have always been farming communities living either by the mountains or by the river. They are known for their medicinal skills and pipes. Inspired by them, I recreated Rawtit, a matriarch clan leader of the Mangyan Tau-buid people. Equipped with her bolo, the peacekeeping giant would leap miles to protect her people and the forest. 
 

This work comes issued with a signed Certificate of Authenticity (CoA).

About the Artist

Widening the range of what paper can do, Tin Javier expresses folklore and mythical themes with collage as punched papers, reused packaging materials and gift wrappers all come to life in her unique way. The Cavite native tries to fuse her art with her own advocacies for climate change, culture and heritage, and human rights and social awareness especially with the indigenous people. Her works have been featured in art magazines, children's books and have been recognized here and abroad.
