Recreating the Banaue Rice Terraces in Miniature | A Tribute to Igorot Culture & Filipino Heritage

Описание: 🇵🇭 Banaue Rice Terraces Diorama Part 1 — A Tribute to Filipino and Igorot Heritage

This project is my personal tribute to the rich culture, craftsmanship, and heritage of the Filipino people, especially the Igorot communities who preserved the world-famous Banaue Rice Terraces for over 2,000 years.

Inspired by the spirit of Cordillera traditions and celebrations like the Panagbenga Festival in Baguio, this diorama series aims to recreate not just the landscape—but the story, identity, and soul of Filipino culture through miniature art.

This is Part 1 of a multi-part series documenting the creation of a highly detailed Banaue Rice Terraces diorama, combining architecture, miniature construction, cultural storytelling, and artistic tribute.

This series will also connect to future parts including:
• Traditional Cordilleran food preparation
• Full miniature Ifugao house and terrace completion
• Apo Whang-Od portrait drawing — honoring the oldest traditional mambabatok

This project is dedicated to preserving and celebrating Filipino identity through art.
