I am no art collector nor an art aficionado but one thing i know is that we have different tastes. Obviously we have our favorites. We tend to be bias knowing the piece was done by our favorite artist. Like i have mentioned before, i am no collector nor am i an art aficionado but i do trust my taste (Naks!). The first time i was given an opportunity to see Michael Cacnio's latest work was about two months ago. It was a controlled sample produced by the artist to give the people who commissioned the work an idea on how the end product would look like. At first sight, i understood right away why the artist designed it as is. Granted, i already knew what the theme was before the design was made available but still, seeing it made me think, "Yep! That's what you call Man for Others alright..." Believe me i'm not being bias. I didn't even know who Michael Cacnio was until this project came along. Like everyone else i turn to the one who had all the answers. Google. Haha! Then i understood why he has such a huge following. 

Well enough about my ignorance, let's talk more about the piece. It was a piece obviously depicting motion which i found very fitting since the theme is "Man for Others". How can one man be a man for others if not through one's actions? Makes sense right? Well to me it does. And what makes this piece more meaningful is that proceeds from the sale will benefit 3 charities - Tulong Dunong: Perpetuity Fund, P.A.G.S.I. Fund (Teacher's Fund) and the Jesuit Infirmary Rehabilitation.

The sale of the 88 sculptures commissioned by Ateneo Batch 88 Blunited, Inc. is still on going. For more information please log on to https://www.facebook.com/blunitedahs88 or contact them at 0915 956 9464 or blunited88@gmail.com.
