Magwheel Day
2023
Metal, LEDs, filters, deformed Aluminum sheet from Hidilyn Diaz's weights
114.3 x 114.3 x 114.3 cm
Magwheel Day takes the shape of a semi-truck wheel (made of LED lights with color filters representing daytime) resting on an aluminum sheet (crushed by weights dropped by Hidilyn Diaz). The sculpture represents the magwheels used by Diaz prior to having access to professional equipment. It can be read as the representation of ingenuity, work, and the struggle for success despite circumstances.
