"This is our tribute to heroism on a global scale, a tribute to all Filipino frontliners worldwide who have fought to contain the pandemic. It is a profound expression of solidarity with those who have risked life and limb to be in the frontline of the fight," said Illac Diaz, founder of Liter of Light and organizer of the event.
The Philippine flag is just the first in a series of glowing tableaux. Other groups of volunteers such as doctors have come forward to form equally stunning images of symbolic significance in the global fight using the individually-assembled renewable lights.
At the end of the exhibit, the lights will be distributed to off-grid communities severely damaged by typhoons Rolly and Ulysses with the help of partner airline, Air Asia Philippines.
