Up Close: Flock’s Fine Lines

The DC Trase Design Competition winner is the “Flock” by Judith Talania, a 19-year-old Advertising Arts student of University of Sto. Tomas. The timid artist shared that the event was highly unprecedented. With all exhiliration, she smiled as she’d like to encourage fellow artists that they should: “feel their artwork…pour their emotions out…be themselves.” Holding her masterpiece with shaky hands, she added that mixed emotions linked by neutral colors were her medium. She is also currently designing a book for a private school and continues to collect cool stuff. Way to go!
