      Napoleon Abueva ( - )

      XIV Station of the Cross

      Fiberglass

      x  cm (39 x 39 in)

      National Artist Napoleon Abueva sculpts a unique take on the Biblical story of Redemption. While the Stations of the Cross is a popular and lasting motif for artists, Abueva’s rendition of the Resurrection of Christ stands out in the absence of the salvational protagonist. The artist instead chooses to depict the Holy Sepulchre, its stone door slightly ajar - referring to the scene the disciples were greeted with on their third day of mourning. Lacking human figures, Abueva’s work distances itself from being just a purely dramatic tableau, focusing instead on the lasting significance and sacredness of the event. Decorating the stone walls are embossed verses from Scripture translated into different languages, speaking of the universality of human salvation.

      An edition of this polycast work can be found at the EDSA Shrine.
