As a painter, printmaker and installation artist, Imelda Cajipe Endaya applied various media in her espousal of social concerns, specifically the status of Filipino women in society. Expressive of her feminist advocacy is the work Mansanas sa Almusal (Apple for Breakfast) where a hungry young girl, with a dainty hairclip of the American flag, looks up in innocent puzzlement at the quandary of her morning breakfast. The richly symbolic apple is nonexistent in reality but present only in the dimension of illusioin in the plastic tablecloth decorated with a serial still life of fruits. Her impoverished state, (and, by implication, her future) is pointedly underlined by a magazine cover with the direct question Kaninong Lupa? (Whose land?).
