Right: Maria Clara is Not Yet Dead. Digital print on silk gazaar by Mark John Carcillar. This tells the story of a dying Filipino soldier who fought for freedom during the Spanish ear. Simplicity and sophistication targeting women in the late 20s and 30s is the main focus of the design. The skirt is printed with bright red, blood splatter print depicting a dying man who was shot during the war. The collar was inspired by the typical Maria Clara dress. A Noli Me Tangere book was inserted in Sobre Falada inspired peplum which depicts the layer of skin of the soldier.
