 HONESTLY, IT IS DIFFICULT TO CHOOSE WHAT
IS THE BEST THEME OR ISSUES THAT WILL MAKE
MY PAINTING MORE OF A MESSAGE FOR ALL. BUT
IN THE END, I MADE UP MY MIND. THE SOCIAL
ISSUES THAT I CHOOSE TO MADE THE COFFEE
PAINTING IS COVID-19 AND POVERTY.
ON JANUARY 20, 2020, THE FIRST COVID-19
PATIENT IN THE PHILIPPINES WAS REPORTED,
MANY OF US ON THAT DAY WERE BUSY DOING OUR
NORMAL LIFE ROUTINE DAILY, NOT UNTIL IT
SPREAD IN A BLINK OF AN EYE. LAST MARCH 16,
20202 THE PRESIDENT ORDERED AN ENHANCED
QUARANTINE ALL OVER LUZON BECAUSE OF THE
WORSENING PANDEMIC, ON THAT DAY, WE
THOUGHT THAT IT WILL END EVENTUALLY FOR
JUST A FEW WEEKS, BUT WE'RE WRONG AND
UNTIL NOW WE STILL EXPERIENCING THE
PANDEMIC AND WE'RE STILL IN QUARANTINE. FOR
ALMOST ONE AND A HALF YEARS OF THE
PANDEMIC, MANY OF US DIED BECAUSE OF
ANXIETY, DEPRESSION, AND POVERTY. AND THAT
IS THE REASON WHY I CHOOSE THESE ISSUES.
I ALSO CHOOSE THIS TOPIC BECAUSE THIS
SPECIFIC TOPIC AFFECTS ME MENTALLY,
EMOTIONALLY, AND PHYSICALLY. WHEN THE
PRESIDENT ORDERED THE QUARANTINE, THEY
CANCELED THE CLASSES. HONESTLY, THAT DAY
WE THOUGHT THAT IT WILL END EVENTUALLY AND
WE WILL HAVE A FACE TO FACE CLASSES NEXT
SCHOOL YEAR, BUT WE'RE WRONG. I FELT
ISOLATED THROUGHOUT THE QUARANTINE, CAN'T
GO OUT, CAN'T HANG WITH MY FRIENDS, CAN'T
RUN AWAY FROM MY PROBLEM WHEN I AM ON A
VERGE OF GIVING UP, CAN'T DO CHITCHATS WITH
MY SCHOOLMATE, I CAN'T DO WHAT I CAN DO
BEFORE THE PANDEMIC HITS. IT AFFECTS ME
MENTALLY BECAUSE OF THE LOADED HOMEWORKS
AND THE HOUSE CHORES, PROBLEMS
FINANCIALLY, PROBLEMS WITH MY FAMILY
ESPECIALLY WHEN THE PANDEMIC HITS, I FELT
LONELY EVERY DAY, CAN'T FREE MYSELF.
SUDDENLY, I STOPPED DOING MY HOMEWORK AND
I HAD A LOT OF LATE SUBMISSIONS, FELT TIRED
FROM DOING THIS THING EVERY DAY AND I CAN'T
STILL COPE UP WITH THE NEW NORMAL.
 THE ARTWORK WAS INSPIRED BY THE
ARTWORK THAT I SAW A WEEK AGO BUT I CAN'T
REMEMBER THE ARTIST OF THAT ARTWORK.
FOR THE PAINTING, I USE BREWED COFFEE
AND WATER, I MADE TWO COLORS FOR THE
COFFEE; THE LIGHT AND THE DARK.
THE PAINTING SYMBOLIZES THE EFFECT OF
THE PANDEMIC FOR A LOT OF US AND HOW IT
COPES UP WITH THE NEW NORMAL. THE MAN
THAT WAS SITTING IN THE LOWER RIGHT CORNER
OF THE PAINTING SYMBOLIZES FILIPINOS THAT
STILL TRYING TO SURVIVE FOR THEIR LIFE, EVERY
DAY. THEY WERE STILL TRYING AND THINKING
POSSIBILITIES ON HOW THE PANDEMIC WILL END,
HOW THEY WILL SURVIVE IN A DAY, IS THE PLAN
OF THE GOVERNMENT STILL WORKING OR NOT.
THERE'S A LOT OF THOUGHTS IN THE MAN'S HEAD
BUT IT IS STILL NOT HEARD BECAUSE OF
ISOLATION. THE CIRCLES THAT SURROUNDED THE
MAN SYMBOLIZES THE QUARANTINE OR THE
THINGS THAT STILL STOPPING HIM TO DO WHAT
HE NORMALLY DOES. THE VIRUS-LIKE SHAPE IN
THE NEAR LEFT MIDDLE OF THE PAINTING IS THE
VIRUS. THE WAVE OR CURLY LINES THAT
SURROUNDED THE VIRUS SYMBOLIZES THAT THE
MAN WAS DOING EVERYTHING TO ACCEPT THE
FACT THE PANDEMIC HAS A PROBABILITY THAT
WILL LAST LONGER THAN WE EXPECT AND WE
NEED TO THINK ABOUT HOW WE WILL COPE UP
WITH THIS SITUATION. THE DOT IN THE LOWER
LEFT OF THE PAINTING SYMBOLIZES THAT IT IS
STILL SPREADING AND WORSENING, MANY ARE
DYING AND MANY ARE STILL ON THE HOSPITAL
BED, FIGHTING. THE DROPLETS- LIKE AT THE
BACK OF THE MAN AND THE CORNER LEFT OF THE
PAINTING SYMBOLIZES THE PROBLEMS OF THE
MAN AND THE OTHER PEOPLE BEFORE THE
PANDEMIC HITS AND WHEN WE HEARD AND FELT
THE PANDEMIC THE BURDEN OR THE PROBLEMS
OF EACH OF ONE OF US INCREASED.
