This is a painting of Jacek Malczewski called simply ‘Death’ and it’s my favourite personification of death in any medium. 

She’s not creepy or scary, or sexy, or abstract. She is this thick woman with worn hands, dressed as normal, with a non-stylised scythe and pins in her hair: like a farmer’s wife that just came form the field and rests against the wall, catching some sun. She is not creeping about the dying one holding her scythe over their head, she is just there, calmly waiting her turn. 

This painting always fills me with peace and optimism when I think about death. She is just there, outside the window, in no hurry at all, sensible and down to earth. I can live with that.

Jacek Malczewski  (15 July 1854 – 8 October 1929) is one of the most revered painters of Poland, associated with the patriotic Young Poland movement following the century of Partitions. He is regarded as the father of Polish Symbolism. In his creative output, Malczewski combined the predominant style of his times, with historical motifs of Polish martyrdom, the Romantic ideals of independence, Christian and Greek traditions, folk mythology, as well as his love of the natural environment.

Makuha Ka Sa Tingin! I originally submitted this to an online literary folio, but it got turned down. Nonetheless, this piece was dedicated and inspired by my ex-whatever, with whom I have had a hard time lashing out because of his toxic and abusive ways.    The world would’ve worked so differently if we walked in another person’s shoes. “Makuha ka sa tingin!” is another way of saying “Makiramdam ka naman!” (Put yourself in my shoes!) I wanted to evoke empathy and to empower people who are stuck in abusive relationships, like I did before, and who are afraid to speak out about their own struggles as perpetuated by their own partners.  To those who are victims of abuse, and domestic violence alike, there is nothing to be afraid in speaking out when you’ve had enough. Remember that it is not selfish to demand respect when it is due, and that it is not selfish to put yourself first. Do not hesitate to seek help with your loved ones. There are government organizations and LGUs alike in the Philippines that you can reach out to when you are a victim of abuse, their hotlines can be found in this link. Stand firm, and God be always with you.
