An Artistic Robot Sculpture Made from Junk

As many of my friends know, I've lost a lot of my valuables to that fateful flood of December 17th last year. Almost two months now after the great flood, I was scouring over my stuffs that were thrashed in a dump in front my room when the thought of making an artistic memento struck me. 

Cleaning the anterior of my room 2 days after the flood.

Aside from February being the "Love Month" in the Philippines, the country also considers it as the "National Arts Month". And with this, I find this opportunity of sharing this artwork timely.


I've always loved humanoid robots when I was young; it became my inspiration for this sculpture. After spending a total of four hours from conception to application, here's my humble attempt on an artistic sculpture from recycled materials. Feel free to share!

As stated, all these materials were the remnants of the typhoon's destruction. While this may ignite one to look at garbage in a whole new way; I believe its greater message is resiliency. 


I believe that something good can still happen after the heavy rains in our lives when we try our best to move on and get our act together. Babangon pa rin tayo Pilipinas!
