Posted on the occasion of Easter Sunday. I'm not sure if it's a "cultural" thing, but the crucified Christ is not the usual image associated with our Easter Sunday celebrations. The artist, Carl Heinrich Bloch, who is known for his set of 23 paintings depicting the life of the Christ, has works more fitting to Filipino sensibility of the occasion such as this from Wikipedia.

Easter and 4,000 miles

Easter Sunday came on April Fools, and I felt like a fool for feeling forlorn. Again. I swear, I will never get used to bringing my partner to the airport for another year or two of work from almost 7,000 kilometers away. When the working week rolled in, I realized that Easter this year also meant long hours at my own work assisting our Director's travel and attendance to a conference in Japan.

So forgive me for belatedly generating a happy Easter feeling, only after I got to visit the Saturday Group's GOLD Exhibit at the main gallery of the Cultural Center of the Philippines. Only after seeing this bright and blissful interpretation of Christ's resurrection by Rafael Asuncion.
