Acrylic on canvas, 48" x 36" (91.4 cm x 121.9 cm) (2025) - featured in the Manitoba Legislative Building for Filipino Heritage Month in 2025
“To Dance Again” features a joyful woman with her curly flowing hair, dancing in her bright and flowing clothing, paired with a vibrant red background. The artwork uses many spiral-like brush strokes in the hair, clothing, and background to evoke feelings of spontaneity, freedom, and change. Accompanying this with the light-hearted blues and yellow of the dress and a passionate and bold red background, the artwork aims to portray a harmonious, fiery, and fast-paced dance of liberation and joy.
This painting serves as a reminder to embrace the changes in life that may be scary, to try new experiences, and to accept the things that you can’t control. Life comes at you fast, and instead of being scared, I think you will find that you will enjoy yourself more if you jump in the fire and dance like nobody's watching.
