In his latest exhibition, Jonathan Joven pays tribute to the Filipino working class with transformed Good Morning towels, representing the daily grind and resilience of unsung heroes.
‘I dedicate this to workers whose capital is blood, sweat, and tears. It symbolizes their hard work and perseverance, which is why it became the center of my exhibit.’
“Good morning” takes on a whole new meaning in Jonathan Joven’s latest exhibit. For him, these two words isn’t your ordinary greeting but a salute to the city’s unsung heroes, a celebration of the daily grind, and a testament to the indomitable spirit of the Filipino worker.At the core of his “Good Morning” exhibit is the humble Good Morning towel that symbolizes the Filipino working class. Stained with sweat and grime, these towels bear witness to countless hours of labor.
Beyond the physicality of labor, Joven also explores the emotional and psychological toll of the working-class life. His paintings convey a sense of weariness, frustration, and hope, reflecting the experiences of the people he seeks to honor. “Good Morning” is a social commentary, a call to recognize and appreciate the contributions of the working class. By elevating the mundane to the extraordinary, Joven reminds us the beauty and dignity inherent in every human endeavor.
