When i was 10 years old i had this dream of an astronaut floating dead in space. It was horrible but this image followed me until my 30s. I was thinking about it and its meaning all the time so i decided to draw it. Since i finished the illustration i never dreamed of it again 🤔 strange somehow 🤔

Grave Branding Tradition: Albay's Artistic Homage

  A Unique Tradition Takes Root in Albay

In the quiet cemetery of Oas, Albay, where rows of white and gray tombs typically inspire somber reflection on All Saints' and All Souls' Days, a vibrant and unconventional tradition has taken root. For years, the Relleve family has been celebrating Undas, the Philippine holiday honoring the departed, in a distinctive way – through "grave branding."   Jafryl Refran: The Mastermind Behind Grave Branding At the heart of this remarkable tradition is Jafryl Refran, a local artist from Matacon, Polangui, Albay. Known for his skills in painting murals and logos for schools, Refran never imagined he would find himself using tombstones as canvases to immortalize the favorite brands of the deceased. His foray into grave branding was nothing short of accidental, as he explains: "I was very surprised when I was first offered this job. But as I got to know the family, I realized that they must really love their father so much that they remember all the memories they had with him."   A Colorful Legacy Since 2016, the Relleve family has commissioned Refran to transform their father Jose Relleve's tomb, who passed away in 2011, into a colorful homage. Each year, they choose a different brand to commemorate their father's memory. Notable brands like Black Label Johnnie Walker, Lacoste, Bvlgari, M&Ms, Wrigley's Doublemint, Alpine, and even the beloved Jollibee have graced the tomb over the years. However, this year's masterpiece is unlike any other – the Tancho brand, which left Refran feeling unfamiliar.  

The Tale of Tancho: A Comical Tribute

Angelle Relleve, the daughter of the late Jose Relleve, shared the inspiration behind this year's artwork. It's a comical tribute to her father's obsession with the Tancho pomade brand, as she explains: "In the 1980s up until the 1990s, my father, along with his colleagues at the Oas municipal hall, used to sport the 'buklis gobyerno' look – a distinctive hairstyle attributed to government employees at that time, characterized by a side part and a slight pomp." Refran faced a challenge with this particular brand, as the Tancho name wasn't widely recognized, not even by passersby at the cemetery. During the initial stages of painting, onlookers struggled to discern the brand he was depicting.  

A Unique Way to Remember

Undoubtedly, the tradition of grave branding raises eyebrows, but for the Relleve family, it's a way to ensure the legacy of their father lives on. As Angelle Relleve puts it, "We just want to honor our father by remembering him with laughter, not tears." Their non-conformist approach to commemorating the dead has a deep cultural connection.   A Tradition Rooted in Filipino Culture Renowned anthropologist Nestor Castro shed light on the tradition's significance: "The grave branding in Oas is unique because of its creativity, although at its core, it is still a manifestation of long-standing Filipino practices and values." He explained that in precolonial times, Filipinos buried their dead with the material objects owned by the departed, alluding to ancestor worship. In contemporary times, as culture evolves, so do the ways Filipinos express respect for the departed. The practice of grave branding is an opportunity to remember the deceased in a way that reflects their character and idiosyncrasies.  

The Evolution of a Unique Tradition

The tradition of grave branding in Albay, Philippines, has come a long way since its early days. What started as a quirky practice in Oas has now spread to other towns in Albay and has evolved in several ways. In the beginning, artists painted murals on flat tomb surfaces, but now they often paint on all sides of the tomb, creating a 3D effect. The early two-dimensional style has given way to more sophisticated techniques, with artists using perspective and shading to create depth. The scope of subjects has expanded as well, from traditional brands to hobbies, sports, and even celebrities. Today, grave branding is a tradition embraced by people from all walks of life. It is a unique and creative way to honor the departed, ensuring they are remembered with laughter and love.  

A Tradition That Lives On

Grave branding has become an integral part of Albay's culture. Moreover, it provides a distinctive and artistic method to honor the deceased, celebrating their lives in vibrant and memorable ways. Furthermore, the work of grave branding artists in Albay is continually evolving, thereby making this tradition a meaningful and enduring part of the community's cultural heritage. After all, as the Relleve family demonstrates, the greatest tragedy is not to die but to be forgotten.   Sources: THX News & Philippine News Agency. Read the full article

🔥 Antique jewelry featuring women's hair is a type of mourning jewelry that was popular in the 19th and early 20th centuries. It was often made in the form of lockets or pendants and was used to hold a lock of hair from a loved one who had passed away. The hair was often braided, woven, or curled and set behind glass or crystal in the jewelry piece. The jewelry was often made of gold or silver and might be embellished with pearls, diamonds, or other precious stones. Some antique hair jewelry was also made as a tribute to a living person, and the hair used in the piece might have been a lock of the person's own hair or a lock of the hair of someone they were close to.
