The orphanage’s formerly rusting roof has been turned into a golden painting that is now the crown jewel of this room.

Calamities, such as the recent typhoons and flood, are never beautiful. Some people, however, can still see hope even through damage and wreckage.
One such person is a Dutch painter who identifies himself as only “Huben.” While torn-down walls, termite-infested wood and rusting roofs have usually been condemned as “trash,” Huben used these as centerpieces of his artworks now on display at Fashion Interiors in Makati City.
Salvaged from the ruins of an old orphanage, the debris were cleaned, repainted and mounted in large canvases like murals that now adorn and form as accent pieces of different galleries and showrooms.
Part of the proceeds from the opuses are reportedly for the benefit of a Bulacan orphanage and other charities being supported by Fashion Interiors.
