Hindi akalain ng Fine Arts student ng University of the Philippines Baguio na si Hanna Kaye Morales, 19, mula sa Quezon City, na pupusuan ng mga netizens ang kaniyang 'miniature barong-barong' na ibinahagi niya sa kaniyang Facebook account noong Oktubre 30, 2021.
Ang naturang miniature barong-barong ay plate requirement para sa kaniyang Materials 1 class ng kanilang propesor na si Prof. Ides Josepina Macapanpan.
"Upon making the miniature, despite making the house as accurate as the ones we see in real life, it made me gather the thought of how the people who actually live in such survive in their daily lives. That there is still the struggle of poverty in society and as the youth (especially those with the privilege of a higher platform), we shall contribute to amplify their voice in our own ways. Every Filipino deserves a warm, comfy, and safe home and no individual in society should be left behind," ayon sa caption ng kaniyang Facebook post, kalakip ang mga litrato ng kaniyang nagawang obra maestra.
Sa panayam ng Balita Online, idinetalye ni Hanna kung ano-ano ang mga materyales na kaniyang ginamit sa naturang miniature barong-barong, at kung ilang araw niya ito natapos.

"In general, recycled materials were used in the process. These include wood as its main base for the house, thin branches/sticks for the support, cardboard, and sand for the ground. Wires, small containers, spare cloth, paper, paperclips, a cutout form, a sako bag were also used for the elements that gave signs of life to the barong barong."
"Other enhancements and finer details were given to life with the use of paint, air dry clay, and printer ink. The work was conceptualized in a week and was made in a span of two whole weeks after my proposal had been approved."
Talagang may dugong artist si Hanna Kaye dahil kahit noong nasa hayskul pa lamang siya ay kakikitaan na siya ng husay pagdating sa paggawa ng mga artworks. Sumasali pa siya sa mga cosplay contest na ginaganap na sa kaniyang dating paaralan, ang School of St. Anthony sa Quezon City.
"Out of my plate requirements, I am a really flexible person in terms of my subjects. I enjoy self-portraits of my memories as well as painting influential people. Concept wise on the other hand, I am also a fan of advocating my works to feminism and addressing political concerns through editorial cartoons. Also In order to go out of my comfort zone, I also to go beyond borders and try still life and abstract objects," aniya.

Ano nga ba ang nais niyang iparating na mensahe sa kaniyang miniature barong-barong?
"The work mainly addresses the fact that there is still the struggle of poverty in today’s society. That there is still a wrong system that needs to be called out in order to bring out the better through our voices and through what we see in real life. Every Filipino deserves a warm, comfy, and safe home and no individual in society should be left behind."
May mensahe naman siya sa mga kapwa niya young artists.
"Your skill is really a medium for voices to be shared and heard. It is a skill to be proud of and a skill that is unique in its own way. Always find the inspiration to keep creating for your work is a huge impact to your audience and even to yourself."
