Combining Filipino creativity and ingenuity with the world-famous Danish LEGO bricks, the installation is a symbol of the development of the relations between the Philippines and Denmark. This creation was inspired by Lee’s dancing of Filipino folk dances in the past and his passion for little toy bricks. The dancers are all animated using a motor and activated with a small robotics unit. “The dance is a courtship ritual similar to our struggles as Filipinos and Danes overcoming our hardships to continue to have a strong relationship. It is stories like these that inspire me to make creations and stories like these that I hope will inspire Filipinos and Danes to continue to work together for a lifetime” he said. |
