"Kumbaga tungkol to sa sistema at sa mga taong nasa pinaka taas na nagkokontrol satin. Maybe we cannot defeat them pero pwede natin silang sakyan at paglaruan. Kumbaga sila naman paglaruan natin. Kelangan sila isahan."
A striking contemporary artwork featuring a fierce, two-headed crocodile surrounded by playful mice, symbolizing power, control, and rebellion. Intricate reptilian patterns, bold black illustrations, and earthy cardboard textures create a dramatic composition. This surrealist statement wall art is a distinctive choice for collectors of symbolic, unconventional, and thought-provoking art.
