In Her Future Memories, a stunning mural artwork and winner of the recently concluded South Park District Mural Design Competition, was officially unveiled on 12 January at South Park District, National Road, Alabang, Muntinlupa City.
The biggest outdoor mural in the south was designed and created by Jhocel “Anthony Marahuyo” Malicsi and his team of 13 talented visual artists — Rheydene Luca Ortega, Rhealhet Luca Ortega, Laurence Sebolino Gutierrez, Ma. Aleilyn Joyce Domingo Botin, John Roland Alipis, Ainafer Rupal Arena, John Alexis Rupal Arena, Roma Nieves Huet, Rica Permejo, Mia Jormalyn Astrera Balaoro, John Lenarrd Soriano Barua, Michael Grospe Autos and Jefferson Panghulan Parajas.
The mural’s creative team designed the art piece to adhere to the competition’s theme of “Part City, Part Nature, Pure South.” It prominently depicts a female cyborg whose mechanical parts seamlessly blend with a backdrop of brightly hued tropical flowers, creating a fusion of technology and nature. On the left, where the flowers open up to the futuristic city skyline, onlookers are invited to imagine what tomorrow might bring.
Through its appealing imagery, the mural transports people to a world where concrete skyscrapers rise amidst vibrant flora, symbolizing a hopeful future where progress does not come at the expense of the natural world. It’s an image that evokes nostalgia and a feeling of deep connection to one’s hometown. The artwork transcends its physical form, offering an opportunity for reflection and creative expression — where casual passersby and art lovers can capture their special moments and share them online.
Team leader Jhocel Malicsi and his group executed their winning mural design on one of the exterior walls of the South Park Center. Using paints provided by Davies Paints, they turned the wall into a massive, eye-catching canvas on which the theme was well-interpreted in vivid colors with a clear visual story.
“Come see In Her Future Memories for yourself and step beneath the towering canvas, feel the pulse of the city and nature merge and rediscover the charm of the South,” said Avida Land’s marketing head Tess Tatco.
Tatco envisions not just Avida residents, but people from different cities visiting the mural in person. The towering mural joins Reginald Yuson’s existing installations, painting a vision for South Park as a vibrant place to live and thrive.
Towering 20 meters above the ground, In Her Future Memories is the biggest creative mural in the South that is expected to draw multitudes of art lovers and visitors to South Park District, a 6.6-hectare master-planned mixed-use development in Alabang that is home to two Avida residential developments — Avida Towers Ardane, a pre-selling property, and Avida Towers Altura, a move-in ready home — right across the South Park Center and South Park Corporate Center.
Avida Land’s dedication to the arts and advocacy from championing local artists to elevating spaces with Filipino artistry will continue to strengthen for years to come. They believe in the power of art to inspire, connect and spark conversations, and In Her Future Memories embodies this spirit. Avida Land is the upper middle-income residential brand of Ayala Land, the Philippines’ leading developer of sustainable estates offering a diverse mix of properties, such as residential, retail, office, hotels and leisure developments, that supports local economic growth and nation-building.
