Photographed: "The Critical Time of the World Civilization" by artist Sarawut Chutiwongpeti. " 'All around us are radical in tribal wars, borders, phenomenons, tragedies, victims, confusion and conflict. How are we to interpret these -- signs of the times --in their proper context?' Today, the world comprises of uncertainties and ambiguities. Sensibilisation are not able to yield all answers are solutions to our satisfaction. At times, knowledge may comprise of power with impact that are beyond individuals institution and intellect. Often advancements in science has challenged moral codes and ethics as well as faith and religion. When Science and Technology are utilized in appreciate. They bring harm and threat to humanity. A contradictory side of Utopia is full of pessimism. Man's Quest to conquer distant galaxies, endless search for territories and colonies reflected in her Instinct for power, aggrandizement, and control. The imbalance of power between those who control and those under control has contributed to this order and dilemma. In the era of confusion and distortion values of aesthetics and common sense have been greatly transformed. At the end of the century we are facing a crisis of World Civilization."

Photographed: "Cosmogram" by artist Ian Robertson Salt. "'Cosmogram' is an alternative interpretation of the structure of the universe. Ancient Native American cultures from the Mississippi Valley region viewed the world in three realms: the celestial, terrestrial, and underworld. The first realm is depicted in the upper section of this drawing represented by a series of human irises that also represent the cosmos. The second realm is represented by a piece of sacred Earth that features the struggle of survival between animals of varying symbolism. The third realm, the underworld, is represented at the bottom of the piece by an industrial landscape this landscape represents the determinal destruction of the Earth by human constructs. This piece illustrates an attempt to awaken consciousness of ancient knowledge and sacred symbolism."

The title of the painting is based on a skipping rope verse most common in the Philippines: 'Red, white and blue, stars you, Mama said, Papa said I love you.'
