At Home in the Silence is an enchanting painting by Michael Albano, in which he captures the beauty of everyday life. The painting depicts a traditional Filipino hut, a nipa hut, in a breathtakingly peaceful and clean environment. The hut is surrounded by lush green nature, a symbol of the serenity and peace provided by the Batang Pinangga children's home. The title Home in the Silence reflects the peace that the children's home and its surroundings exude, a contrast to the harsh reality of the streets the children once knew.
The nature surrounding the nipa hut is a lush oasis of greenery, where silence meets beauty. The symbiosis between the hut and nature is a visual representation of the new home Batang Pinangga offers - a place where the children can recover from their past and grow up in a safe, peaceful environment. The transition from the grimy streets to the lush, clean nature of Batang Pinangga thus becomes a powerful visual story of hope and change.
This painting is a tribute to the transformation the children's home has brought to the children who live there. It is a silent witness to their journey to recovery, where each brush stroke by Albano highlights the stillness and peace that the children's home offers them.
