My first serious painting. This painting depicts a young girl doing a stance in a malong dance. A malong is a colorful tubelike blanket with various uses, considered an indespensible item mostly by the people in southern part of the Philippines. It can be used as a skirt, sarong, cradle and believe you me, a portable toilet.
