00:04May malalim na hugot ang painting exhibit ni Solene Youssef.
00:08Sa gitna kasi ng nakakamanghan niyang obra,
00:11ang malungkot na pinagdadaanan ng kanyang pamilya dahil sa amang nakikipaglaban sa demensya.
00:17Makitsi ka kay Nelson Calas.
00:22Bago ang feels ng painting exhibit ni Solene Youssef.
00:25Pero ang ganda ng mga luntiang halaman, subject ng kanyang obra, may mas malalim na hugot.
00:32It's really using nature and foliage as a metaphor, as a language and also as the visual.
00:40So it's about growth and it shows how life is always shifting, always changing.
00:45There are dark moments, like there are brighter ones.
00:48And you just have to learn to step out into the unknown.
00:51That's the whole vibe of the exhibit.
00:54Inspirasyon niya raw, sa ilang niyang paintings, ang pinagdaraanan ng kanyang pamilya ngayon.
00:59Partikular ang pagkalinga sa kanilang ama na may demensya.
01:03Memory fades away, so that's what this is about.
01:06And I feel like in a field of ortensia flowers, which is my dad's favorite flower.
01:10Pero abstracted sila dito.
01:12I can find him still.
01:14Kasi he doesn't, he cannot recognize me and everything.
01:17He's not completely disappeared.
01:18Yeah, he's not completely disappeared.
01:19He's still there, but he's changing, evolving in his own terms how life made it happen to him.
01:25So parang it's all about that. It's the landscape of growth within.
01:31He's here with us, he's alive, but he's not there.
01:35Alam mo yung, demensya syempre is a very difficult disease.
01:39Mabuti na lang daw, at kahit papaano, ay may outlet si Solen para ilabas ang pinagdaraanan.
01:45Pero habang nagkukwento siya ng ilang partikular na insidente sa buhay nila, ramdam ang pagiging emosyonal niya.
01:53There are good days. I wouldn't say bad.
01:55One time I went to my mom's house and then my dad looked at me and then he just started
01:59crying.
02:00And then he's like, my daughter! So then I was super crying also.
02:03And then he looked at me again, tapos wala na, ganun. Parang...
02:07So he was just there for a minute?
02:08Yeah, he was there for like a split second.
