In 4 weeks, Zamboanga City recorded 4 positive cases, with around 70 cases still waiting for their results. It's been weeks since the quarantine and people are getting anxious everyday as the number of cases increase. I, personally, am very lucky to have a work that can be done at home. As a multimedia artist and social media manager, I don't have to report to work everyday. Staying at home is the best way to avoid the virus but sadly, not everyone has that privilege. Marginalized families are the victims of this crisis. Without going outside and working, they can't feed their families. The local government started giving out food packs to these families and we have civic organizations, and charitable individuals and groups who are also sharing their time and resources to the families who need it the most.
During my spare time, I join an online art challenge by ADZU's Ateneo Center for Culture and Arts (ACCA) where artists create pieces related to a theme. My first piece is for the theme "Amor" or Love which is a paper sculpture.
"Share your Love", is a paper sculpture placed outside our home to show our solidarity to the government and our community in this difficult times.❤️ Here in Zamboanga City, households place heart-shaped signs in their doors to signifying that they waive their share of family food packs so it will be given to families who need it more. We are encouraging our friends to also share their love.🏘💕
I made the 3D paper heart following a Youtube video tutorial by Paper Kawaii. You can watch it here. A template was provided which you can download here. I upscaled the the pattern which I printed in a series of bondpaper, and glued them so that can fit a folder. I used a recycled red folder and just followed the instructions. I only created one side since I ran out of red paper. So I mounted the paper heart in a cardboard and attached some strings so I can hang it in our gate. It turned out nicely.
