Davao artist Noi Narciso inspired Filipinos to engage in recycling scraps as he opened an exhibit showcasing musical instruments made from thrown and used materials.<\/p>\n

On September 15, Narciso launched his exclusive art display named \u2018Ugong Sa Tig-ani\u2019 in Davao City, showing his Do-It-Yourself musical instruments.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cUgong sa Tig-ani is a retrospection and collection of my poems and performances I\u2019ve attached to various sounds I have encountered and its evolution to sound performance and the production of DIY instruments,\u201d Narciso said.<\/p>\n

As explained by the Filipino artist, the exhibit title \u2018Ugong sa Tig-ani\u2019 came from the words ‘Ugong’, which means sound vibration, and ‘Tig’, which is coined from the word Tunog, which means sound.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

These words basically explain the focus of his exhibition, wherein he caters to different instruments that still produce outstanding sounds even though they are made from scrap or recycled materials.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn between sound narratives or notes, random patterns of music come to life in between conversations. Sound exploration is meditative for me, where in the middle of sound and listening comes silence. The process is reflective. It can heal pain and even rebuild lost moments and memories,\u201d Narciso said.<\/p>\n

The artist shared that his art was a product of his personal realizations during and after the pandemic, wherein he saw memories and stories from different perspectives.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs my social landscape changed, I started to test my resilience as an artist by re-imagining and re-building my works through upcycling,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Before his recent art exhibition, Narciso was already known for his craft, as he became an awardee of the National Commission for Culture and the Arts and collaborated with other Japanese artist groups.<\/p>\n
