    Art Analysis

    A. Description

    I. Subject Matter

    The subject matter is about women and children, the other figures in the artwork
    are flowers and plants. The greenery of the artwork emphasizes the freshness and
    innocence of a mother’s love to her child.

    II. Materials Used

    The materials used are Concrete and Polyurethane, Ed Defensor is well known for
    reinforcing the infrastructures seen in the streets of Iloilo. The materials used gave
    off a message that a mother’s love will always be strong and stable, and consistent
    like its color and texture (concrete).

    III. Art Elements and Principles

    The dominant elements in the artwork are color, form and line. These three are
    used in the artwork by the sculpture itself since the sculpture is in 3-D and the
    colors and space are taken from the flowers and plants surrounding the sculpture.

    B. Analysis

    I. Elements

    The related events that can be associated with these artworks are all kinds
    of chaos that happened in our country. Specifically, World War I & II, events that
    happened during Marcos’ reign; this symbolizes the ‘Inang Bayan’ protecting the
    Filipinos and a loving mother protecting her child from all the possible worst case
    scenarios.

    The raw color of the sculpture compliments the message the sculptor
    wants to give, it feels as if the sculpture is a real event. The materials made the
    sculpture look three dimensional, making it look realistic. I felt motivated actually
    when I saw the true meaning of the sculpture but when I first saw it I felt a bit
    sympathetic because of the form itself, it looks like as If the mother and the child
    is in distress and pain.

    C. Interpretation
    ( Artist’s Statement)

    ELEMENTS
    a. Main idea and the overall meaning of the sculpture

    b. Interpretative statement:” Can I express what I think about the sculpture in one
    sentence?”

    c. The evidence inside or outside the sculpture that supports your interpretation

    Questions:

     How did the artist make the sculpture?


    Ed Defensor reinforced a concrete and made it into a three dimensional
    sculpture that is at the center of the flowers and plants.

     Do you like/dislike the sculpture? Why?


    I liked the sculpture since it shows a mother’s true love to her child, it may
    seem simple but the simplicity of the sculpture summarizes how much a
    mother cares for her child. And the fact that the mother in the sculpture is
    protecting the child from something, it gives off something more than just
    love and care from the mother.

     How does it compare with other sculptures?


    This artwork is different with other sculptures because it may seem like a
    normal figure seen in public but when you actually observe it, it may give
    off a deeper perspective than it being just a decoration.

     What is the value of the sculpture to you, the youth or society?


    The value of the sculpture is important especially for the youth because
    this can let them know how much their mother loves them too, because as
    teenagers we tend to rebel against our parents especially our mother. This
    also can make the people love for their country strengthens since the
    sculpture may also symbolize nationalism.
