In "Dagsa 1" fishermen work together to pull in their nets, celebrating both divine providence and human effort. Set against a backdrop featuring a mosque and a traditional boat, this painting emphasizes the balance between spiritual faith and communal hard work. The dynamic scene highlights the synergy between divine blessings and the collective endeavor, encapsulating the essence of "nasa Dyos ang awa, nasa Tao ang gawa" – divine mercy is with God, human effort is with man. Incorporated into the artwork are elements of Okir, a royal symbol of the Maranaos, which signifies their rich cultural heritage and the nobility of their traditions. The intricate Okir patterns add a layer of depth and cultural significance, celebrating the Maranao people's artistic legacy.
