The Bind of Society and Self: An Artistic Journey of Perception and Reflection

In a world filled with noise and distractions, the concept of turning a blind-eye extends far beyond the physical aspects of life. Comprises the idea of being unaware, unseeing, and indifferent to the subtle distinction of society, life, and oneself. The thought-provoking theme, “The Blind of Society and Self, takes center stage in the anticipated exhibit by GLYF at Museo De La Salle today, February 20, 2025

The exhibit marked as a participation and celebration in the spirit of the ‘Art’s Month’, which invites the public to witness the creativity of the Lasallian artist who explored the metaphorical aspects that affects not just an individual, but community.

Love is more than just an emotion—it’s a force that drives connection, healing, and resilience. It strengthens the heart, calms the mind, and shapes the very essence of who we are. 🫀

This Valentine’s Day, let’s appreciate the science behind the emotions that make our hearts race and our souls connect. From the pulse-quickening effects of adrenaline to the bonding power of oxytocin, love is more than just a feeling—it’s a symphony of biological processes working in perfect harmony. Whether it’s the warmth of friendship, the support of family, or the spark of romance, love keeps us thriving.

Happy Valentine’s Day from The BioBeat! 💚
