Stripped

My friend, the award winning Karl Castro, went to Hong Kong for an art thing, and came back with a gift for me. It's a new iPhone case, the design of which is Nyoman Masriadi's Sudah biasa di telanjangi, which translates to English as either "Thick Skinned" or "Used to Being Stripped".

I suspect the Filipino translation is closer to the intent: "Walang Hiya".

It depicts a very muscular brown man in handcufffs. He has a floral panty down to his ankles. It is the highest priced painting in the region, by the way.

My friend thinks this is the perfect image for me to carry around.
