Cacnio is well-known for using brass to capture the emotional warmth of everyday Filipino life. The textured details on the mother's shawl and the child's posture highlight his mastery of the medium. Created in 1995, this brass sculpture by Michael Cacnio is a beautiful example of his signature social realist style. It depicts a mother and child sharing a quiet, intimate moment while reading a book together.
