Weekend Snapshot#37 Native Transformer





Another new landmark along the Buda-Bukidnon Road is this structure I personally call “Native Transformer”.  At a distance, it looks like one of those robots in the Transformer movie but when examined closer, it is actually a sculpture of a native man, holding a durian fruit and inside the fruit is a baby. The native man is wearing a shirt with designs indigenous to the people of the area.   

The structure has the signature style of the Davao-based sculptor, Kublai Millan but since there is no marker yet, we cannot know for sure who did this structure. We just visited the Overview Park when we saw this Native Transformer along the way and this structure has somehow given some perk-me-up while traveling along winding roads.

This is a neat sculpture. I see what you mean, though! What an imagination this artist has.
