REFLECTION QUESTION:
What is the power of this art?
"Tri-People" by Desiderio "Banjo" Satorre demonstrates the ability of art to arouse
our senses as it expresses the harmonious relationship between Muslims, Christians, and
Lumads in Davao. It has become a medium for people to see and realize that everyone,
regardless of culture, ideology, and beliefs, can live peacefully if respect and appreciation
are present. Moreover, it effectively paid homage to each group's distinct culture and
characteristics, emphasizing their uniqueness and beauty individually and collectively.
Although lines separate the faces, they stand as one, as Mindanaoans. With that being said,
this artwork urged me to embrace my culture and tradition and, simultaneously, appreciate
and see the value of other cultures in Mindanao.
