Description

The image showcases a simple circular design inspired by indigenous tribes in the Luzon province. Prominently displayed in the center is a circular piece of paper with intricate Baybayin calligraphy whereas the outer rings feature traditional weaves akin to the traditional fabrics made by indigenous tribes in Northern Philippines. The circular paper features a red and brown design on its cover, resembling the cover of a book. More prominently, it highlights a community but at the same time, the artwork resembles the capital letter “I” in the middle of the community.
