EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Dondi Tawatao, the bustling public market in Kamuning, Quezon City comes to life as a vibrant tapestry of colors and textures. The image showcases an array of different varieties of rice, each meticulously labeled with their corresponding prices. As sunlight streams through the open-air market, casting intriguing shadows on the scene, it highlights the importance of this staple food in Filipino culture. The close-up shot allows us to appreciate the intricate details within the frame - from the handwritten markings on each package to reflections bouncing off nearby surfaces. Although faces remain unrecognizable, we can see hands reaching out for these grains that sustain millions across Metro Manila. This photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also tells a story about trade and commerce. It serves as a reminder that markets like these are essential hubs where people come together to buy and sell goods necessary for their daily lives. Dondi Tawatao's creative use of composition draws our attention towards one body part -the hand- symbolizing human interaction and connection within this bustling marketplace. Through his lens, he invites us into this world where marked prices become more than just numbers; they represent livelihoods and sustenance for both buyers and sellers alike.
