Art is sustenance, says Ethan Hawke in his Ted talk entitled, Give yourself permission to be creative.  I never considered myself artist. The only thing, I am artistically inclined to was developed a love for photography and the art of handwriting. Others artistic skills like singing or dancing was abandoned because of 1, I messed up trying out for a school choir during my younger years at Nabunturan Central Elementary School or 2, they don't need another loud gay kid in the production. 

It is said that an aspiration is a core value of successful people, but having a society with collective aspiration will surely build a nation into greatness. According to a nine-year study that was done by Dream Project PH, 8 out of 10 Filipino teenagers don’t have dreams. It was also stated that one of the five reasons why these teenagers don’t have dreams is the “lack of conversation” about dreams. (https://www.philstar.com/business/2022/01/14/2153698/dreamless-pinoys/amp/) This becomes an alarming issue that involves a generation that has the power to either make or break the civilization’s future. 

In this year’s “Sining ng Pag-asa”, one of its highlights is the “Pukot sa Pangandoy” by Richard Arellano. This installation art explores the idea of starting the conversation about dreams and aspirations, Pukot sa Pangandoy aims to spark discussion not only for the youth but for the Nabunturanons as a whole.
