55. Contemporary Art that defines Filipino artistry and ingenuity. Such
is revealed in the creation of the very unique and intricately made
lanterns from Pampanga. Lantern-making is difficult in every inch of
its production. Lighting varies with its corresponding movement
and color. Synchronization of the rotor is necessary in every part of
the lantern when it is working on its patterns. The use of lights,
music, and synchronization of the pattern's movements requires the
use of a 3D software to create the design workflow. The reality of
scarcity in our natural resources whilst the growing waste produced
in every Filipino household became a focal point in the promotion of
Recycling and Reusing. Example of these products includes bags,
receptacles, etc.
