Synopsis

In the heart of the Philippine forests, tattoo artist Jose inadvertently ignites a fire, leading to an encounter with a mysterious woman that forever alters his life. "Apoy ni Lakapati" (Lakapati's Fire) tells a compelling story that interlaces past and future, sacrifice and ambition, against the backdrop of a homeland on the verge of change.

Jose, a practitioner of traditional tattoo art, stands at the crossroads of maintaining cultural heritage and adapting to the pressures of modernity. As a forest fire ravages the land, his quest to rescue the enigmatic woman initiates a profound transformation, challenging conventional notions of identity.

This graphic novel delves into themes of love, sacrifice, environmental awareness, and cultural resilience. It invites readers on a reflective journey, where the unforeseen becomes a pathway to self-discovery. Through its rich narrative and vivid artistry, "Apoy ni Lakapati" explores the enduring ties to tradition and the relentless march of progress, urging a balance between the two.

Reading it as an adult versus when I was in high school

Reading it as an adult versus when I was in high school, resonates so much more. It still pertains to what’s is going on today. The toxicity started by Spain and it’s friars still permeates.
