Eludo is a mixed media artist and a product designer in Hong Kong.
This is his watercolour painting about Pagmamano, a Filipino way of showing respect and receiving blessing from the elders. It is done when young people or children greet the elders by bowing to them, take the right hand of the elders and press the forehead on it. The youngs will say “Mano po (Your hand please)” and the elders will reply “God bless you”.
