RIZAL MONUMENT
- How is this monument different from other monuments of a neighboring town?
- This monument differs from other neighboring towns for it is made up of marble that is not the same as the neighboring towns. On the other hand Rizal's gesture is way too different for neighboring towns that usually Rizal is holding objects such as books, rod and etc.
2. What is the relationship of these monuments to the surrounding space and other structures within the space? Do they dominate the space? Or are they overshadowed by other structures such as condominium building that obstructs the view of Rizal in Luneta?
- Actually there is no significant relationship between the surrounding establishment on the monument. Yes establishment dominate the space for it is a commercial area but it is a attention catcher for it is placed at the middle making each citizen take a glimpse on it. It may not be seen for it is located at the center but it tribute located in the center of plaza Divisoria gives the true essence of being a national hero.
3. How is the subject (for instance Rizal or any other town hero) DEPICTED? what is he wearing? How is he posed, or how is he standing, and where is he facing? Does the subject have any trace of facial expression? what is the subject holding? How big or tall is the subject in realation to the other elements of the sculpture, in relation to the viewer, and the other elements surrounding the space?
- He is wearing a usual clothing that is similar to the traditional ones. He acted like or posed like a standing person that is thinking or reflecting facing downwards. Yes the subject has the trace of facial expression he is kind of mesmerizing on something. The subject is not holding a thing, comparing its height to the Rizal in Luneta it almost the same. It is considered as sculpture for it is made up of marble that is a stone therefore it's composition and it is a abstract form making it sculpture.
4. In which direction are our eyes led to as we look at the monument? Are they led toward the core of the sculpture, or are we led to look and move outwardly? Is the figure more self-contained, or is the subject oriented to you and the space? In other words, what image is projected by Rizal or the subject? How the elements shape this image?
- The image projected by Rizal is a self-contained one. We all know that he is a part of our history for he is our national hero. The elements it as such as marble stone, gesture are basis of being a sculpture especially that it went to a series of carving until it shapes into a Rizal monument. The space cop up to its geographical location for it is the heart of the city making it as apple of the night in the space.
