Kittens in the Garbage
A painful reflection on what kittens endure when thrown away like garbage. This cruelty needs to stop.

Justine Gabriela S. Amores, or Ja, is a visual artist based in Baguio City, Philippines. She studied BA Social Sciences (major in History) at UP. Her background in history, her home in Baguio—a melting pot of different ethnolinguistic groups in Northern Luzon—and the confluences of arts and culture serve as her inspiration. Her research, travels, and conversations with people translate into her illustrative storytelling.
Her themes mostly dwell on “kween gorl” energy, Philippine Indigenous cultures, urban folk mythologies, and the experiences of Filipinos in the diaspora. She was also part of the Recollect/Reconnect Project, an artist residency at the University of Michigan. She has illustrated children’s books, taught art to children, and participated in group exhibitions including BENCAB: Review, Manila Illustration Fair, Jakarta Creative and Illustration Fair, and others.
