"Dagsa 2" portrays fishermen working together to pull in their nets, celebrating the blend of divine providence and human effort. Set against a backdrop featuring a church, the painting emphasizes the Christian belief in "nasa Diyos ang awa, nasa Tao ang gawa" – divine mercy is with God, human effort is with man. The scene highlights the unity and determination of the fishermen,underscoring the importance of cooperation and hard work. Intricate designs on the nets include the Ichthys, a fish symbol representing Christ, reflecting the community’s rich cultural and spiritual heritage. This artwork serves as a reminder of the harmony between divine blessings and human action.
