Kapwa means "fellow human". When we live for the collective, we appreciate the interconnectedness of all beings. Inspired by the tattooing tradition of the Kalinga tribe in the Cordillera region of Luzon, this hand illustrated ornament depicts the pattern for the skin of the snake or a fruit. It also can be interpreted as the all seeing eye of the ancestors. It symbolizes fertility and growth.
