About the Artwork
This work is a direct visual translation of an original poem by the artist, rendered through structured yellow blocks representing each letter. Using the Atype Kvadrug font, the artist weaves language into form—where words become shapes, and verses take space.
The poem speaks of quiet, selfless love that persists through the fading light, and the artwork mirrors that stillness: orderly yet emotive, minimal yet profound. In this visual poem, “dapit-hapon” becomes a metaphor and a material, folded into the fabric of waiting and quiet devotion.
laging nandiyan,
kahit 'di mo tanaw,
ako'y naghihintay—
tulad ng araw
na dahan-dahang
lumulubog sa dilim.
tahimik lamang,
tila dapit-hapon
na 'di mo napansin.
hanggang kailan pa?
hanggang may ikaw,
ako’y magmamahal.
hanggang sa dulo,
hindi ako hihinto—
ikaw ang mundo.
sa pagsapit
ng dapit-hapon
Using a stark black background contrasted with the bright, reflective qualities of gold, this piece emphasizes elegance and modernity, creating a refined and striking mood.

James Victor sees art as a way to capture emotions that words can’t fully express. His creative process often begins with a feeling or a story he wants to tell—sometimes, it’s raw and heavy, like a single tear frozen in time; other times, it’s about movement, dreams, and memories.
He loves working with different materials—allowing textures and forms to bring depth to my pieces.
Much of his work plays with contrast—light and darkness, fragility and strength—because he believes life comprises these dualities. He often experiments with unconventional elements, like framing something that refuses to be contained or letting a piece extend beyond its usual boundaries.
For him, art isn’t just about what you see—it’s about what you feel when you look at it.
