About
This installation is an extension of Javier’s works in print and painting that draw on the natural environment of provincial Batangas to create allegorical insights into the human condition and relationships.The artist says, ‘My appreciation for plants is always focused on the leaves and flowers, but never the roots. However, as an avid gardener, I know how vital roots are to a plant's growth. They are hidden from sight and often ignored. Maybe that is a bit like how we view people. We judge them too by outward appearance – or gender, religion, nationality, even by status in life. What is hidden, like the roots of the plants, is a deeper psyche, or collective unconscious that connects us all. A connectivity that can't be cut off by poor signals or power interruption. But how do roots move through the earth? Do they respond to situations, crisis, like we do? Do they invade and kill neighbouring roots? Do they reach out and tangle with each other for added strength and even, perhaps, create a sense of community? Like many of my works, this piece poses questions and there is no definite answer.'
