Baybayin Block Prints By Chris T. Lipat

Ilaw ᜁᜎᜏ written in Baybayin, a pre-colonial Philippine script, is Tagalog for light (silaw in Ilokano, laʻa kea in ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi). Alimango/pāpaʻi (crab), isda/iʻa (fish), ulan/ua (rain) batek (traditional tattoo) motifs. Waimānalo Beach, Oʻahu. Just as Ku‘ula, the Hawaiian god of fishing, teaches us to honor and share the fish we catch, so too the legend of Amansinaya, the Filipina goddess of the sea, echos similar values. This piece is also about light in the dark night of the soul, the integration of the shadow self, where we learn to embrace the aspects we’ve learned to shun or hide to belong. Releasing the fears that keep us small and safe, we ultimately discover our inner strength, beauty, and reclaim our power in the quiet of the night. This image was originally created by Chris Lipat in 2019 as a block print. 50% of artist proceeds will be donated to the Maui Filipino Chamber of Commerce Foundation’s Scholarship Program.
