Resource Title Komyut: A New Normal Public Transportation Diary
Date Issued 06 July 2023
Abstract This thesis is a series of oil paintings depicting my experience and observation as a commuter in the new normal using symbolism and metaphor. My works are inspired by the movement of Social Realism; the topic, commuting as a shared social experience.
Commuting from Rodriguez, Rizal, to Quezon City after several lockdowns due to the COVID-19 pandemic is a different experience. My experiences and observations throughout my commuting journey developed these five concerns: infrastructure projects, commuters’ conditions, lack of public transportation, transportation fares, and commuters’ safety.
