Pagsasama – Sama

Pagsasama-sama (“joining together”) celebrates the collective spirit of SOMA Pilipinas and community life. The mural weaves figures and solihiya-inspired patterns with wave forms linking the Philippines, the Pacific, and the Filipinx diaspora in San Francisco. Central diwata figures emerge from these currents, while carved-wood visual references draw on Filipino storytelling traditions to depict intergenerational support, cultural expression, activism, and shared life.
