Chloe Caday’s, The Undying Love of Sampaguita III, is the third painting of tryptic – Sampaguita, in her latest series, Diwata’s Song. The work integrates the narratives of Sampaguita – the story of a fate-forbidden love, and the daughters of Bathala (the creator in Tagalog mythology); Mayari (goddess of the moon), Tala (goddess of the stars) and Hanan (goddess of the morning). Set in a secluded moonlit lagoon, The Undying Love of Sampaguita III depicts the two lovers, Sampa and Guita bathing under the guidance of Mayari. In Tagalog folklore, the people worshipped a lunar goddess, Mayari, who guarded the world during the nighttime. During the new moon, it is said that people would hold great rejoices and pray for their desires as it was believed that Mayari could give them to them abundantly. Alluding to the story of deep desire, the painting portrays the story of the two lovers who were forced to run away deep into the forest to pursue their love for each other, despite this being forbidden by Guita’s father.
