The Art of Rock Balancing

Rock Balancing is not quite a buzz word in the Philippines, neither you can see it often in public places.  As defined in wikipedia, it is an essential art, discipline, or hobby depending upon the intent of the practitioner in which rocks are balanced on top of one another in various positions; these scenes may then be photographed.

Aside from having this amazing talent, Lyean Inocencio incorporates the importance of planting trees and role of everyone in taking care of our nature through his passion.  And I quote their mission-vision, “WE ARE DOING THIS TO SHARE THE ART OF ROCK BALANCING AND ENVIRONMENTAL ART AMONG US… FOR THIS TO BE RECOGNIZED AS PHILIPPINE PUBLIC ART TO PROMOTE ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS AND LIFE PRESERVATION… TO TEACH OUR PEOPLE TO APPRECIATE LIFE AND WE CAN ONLY ACHIEVE THIS IF ONLY WE FOSTER, PRESERVE AND PROTECT OUR ENVIRONMENT. WE HOPE THAT THIS ART WILL BE OUR FIRST STEP TO TEACH YOUNGER GENERATIONS IN TAKING CARE OF OUR ENVIRONMENT.”
