BASIC SEMIOTIC PLANE

The “Yellow confetti” is a dynamic and powerfully resonant work by Benidicto Cabrera,
an Ink and acrylic painting on paper that measure 75 x 55 centimeter or 29.5 x 21.7
inches it is a piece of art that was made during the People Power Revolution in the early
to mid-1980s “Yellow Confetti” is one of the most controversial Filipino paintings in
modern times. The picture depicts citizen resistance during the People's Revolution. It's
called yellow confetti because the yellow confetti are the yellow banners and ribbons
used by the resisters, which also refers to the Yellow Revolution. It is described as a
lively and strong work resonating. The symbol of the yellow confetti has been used
more than once by Bencab. It demonstrated how unfair the government has been since
then, and how Filipinos have battled for their rights as Filipino citizens regardless of how
stubborn the government is or how difficult their situation is. “Yellow Confetti” conveys
the humanistic face of an era in flux, reflecting the passion, energy, and yearning for
economic stability and social fairness, as well as the underlying fabric and basis of
contemporary Philippines - a political epoch in the previous thirty years. A perfectly
pictured how the proletariats thronged the metro and raised their fists as a sign of
resistance. The audience, who may come from various families, jobs, and hobbies,
everyone has their own personal reasons for participating in resistance. Only the swirl of
yellow confetti captures the underlying tensions between demonstrators and the
authorities. "Yellow Confetti" is set against red, blue, white, and yellow paper strips.
Within Bencab's story, the confetti theme has grown into a sign of changing times and
optimism for a brighter future.
