    The Transfiguration

    -This sculpture shows Jesus Christ during his transfiguration, the


    transfiguration is when Jesus Christ ascended to heaven from earth.
    This sculpture is much like the “UP Oblation” of Guillermo Tolentino
    because it has both horizontal and vertical lines symmetry, because of
    that the sculpture looks solid and stable. The sculpture has a dull color
    for it is colored with a light gray. The sculpture is standing upright
    facing the sky, This symbolizes the ascension of Jesus Christ to heaven.
    It is placed at the entrance of Eternal Gardens Memorial Park, located
    at St. Joseph, Quezon City. I believa that the reason why the sculpture
    is places there is because it is a cemetery, it is a place where the dead
    are buried and their souls ascend to heaven like Jesus Christ in his
    transfiguration
