    PAHIYAS

    Pahiyas

    Diokno Paslian

    Click to enlarge The most photographed among Philippine fiestas is the PAHIYAS festival in Lucban, Quezon, where houses are decorated with multi-coloured kiping or rice paper. The fiesta falls on August 19, the feast of San Luis Obispo. Payas is hiyas meaning jewel to create PAHIYAS.
    Click to enlarge Kiping is created from rice paste that has food colouring added to give the decorations their vibrant appearance. The kiping is but a background for displaying the best and largest agricultural produce. Vegetable and fruits are arranged along with the kiping to form designs or even text. Fish, shrimp and even pets are integral parts of the house decorations.

    Click to enlarge PAHIYAS is a cross between a harvest and fertility ritual; it is a way for humans to thank Nature for its bounty in a colourful and spectacular fashion.

    PAHIYAS PROJECT
    Click to enlargeAs a As a Filipino artist now living in Australia my intention is to transform the PAHIYAS into a different context by using recycled plastic drink bottles to celebrate the cycle of consumerism and to intergrate this cross cultural practice to the Australian community.
