View of Malacanang I - Building Democracy

Many years ago, I had plenty of time on my hands and I had a stack of magazines with plenty of pictures. A light bulb blinked in my head and I decided to cut out some pictures and compose them as a new image centered on Malacanang Palace because I happen to have postcards of it too. The resulting image pleased me and so I was encouraged to make more images until I had a set of 15 images. I entitled my work as Views of Malacanang: Reflections on the relationship between people and power. Although I am not an artist and never considered myself as one, I was surprised that there were people who were actually willing to pay for my cut out artwork. The first picture:
