NIPA HUT
(Philippines)

Oil on Canvas - 40" x 32"

 

This grandmother and her grandson look out through the window of their home, a nipa hut. They live in the hills above Subic Bay in the Philippines. Subic Bay was once a bustling $3 billion naval base which, within a few months, turned into a ghost town following the U.S military evacuation. The Aeta people of Pamulaklakin were left behind. I was guided to their village by a man from JEST (Jungle Environmental Survival Training), a group which had trained the U.S. military in jungle survival.
