20 Somethings Seek ‘A
Balanced Life’ Through Art
“Work-life balance” is the
catchphrase of the 21st century workforce. They are ambitious and driven and
ready to face their demanding careers, but many now recognize the importance of
a holistic lifestyle.
A diverse group of young
professionals is staging an exhibit entitled "See, Saw: Various Visions of
Balance" showcasing different works of art that aim to portray their own
unique but very relatable struggles in their journey to lead happier and more
fulfilled lives
"See, Saw" will feature
paintings, photographs, installations, and digital and mixed media works by 11
different artists and individuals who are woven together by the common thread
of passion in pursuing art, regardless of their day jobs and chosen fields. It
will include contributions by Agnes Abesamis, Cess Abrahan, Trixie Banting,
Christopher Esguerra, Kristel Ko, Gigi Lapid, Kristina Mendoza, Mikhail
Quijano, Camille Quintos, Christine Salazar, and Margarita Tabag.
This undertaking is particularly
relevant because of the modern Pinoy’s increasing inclination to engage in
other life-enriching activities centered on general well-being. The exhibit’s
focal point – life balance or sometimes the lack thereof – will prove to be an
eye opener for anyone who has been challenged to achieve their own version of
success, without compromising other valuable pursuits.
The exhibit will be held at the
Vinyl on Vinyl gallery at The Collective in 7274 Malugay Street, Makati
City. The exhibit opens on May 5, 2012, Saturday, at 7pm and will
run until May 24. Visit the events page of “See, Saw: Various Visions of Balance” on Facebook for more information about the event.
