A little piece created at the #DesignPlayground for #DesignWeekPhilippines 2023. Printed on a tote bag (by @TeamManilaGraphicDesignStudio) and then exhibited at the Philippine Trade Training Center in Pasay.
"Tapos. Tapos? Tapos." (which translates to "End. And? End.") signifies the three stages of how Filipino society is progressing after the Covid-19 pandemic.
“Tapos.” is the first stage in which we have just overcome the pandemic, marked by a symbolic "period."
“Tapos?" represents the broader question of "Where will we go next? What comes after?
Finally, "Tapos" (in Baybayin) symbolizes an ideal society wherein we have embraced our Pre-Colonial origins and are thus advancing into the future.
