For where the woman speaks and where the woman soars and where the woman roars.
Babae is an exploration of the woman through her body. The woman as how society continues to impose her realities through the ages. Here, Ligaya explores this using Barbie dolls to create the metaphor of the body with the deliberate use of the archetype of a woman that the doll represents. Drawing from her memories of Barbie dolls from her childhood. She uses its images to tell the story of women she witnessed in her life, a friend, her mother, an suspecting stranger she encounters in a street corner.
In 2004, these pieces were exhibited in a solo exhibition called Babae (Woman) at now defunct Siwang Gallery.
