This artwork reimagines the central couple in Gustav Klimt's The Kiss as enduring icons of Filipino pop culture. Presented as a still frame from a Videoke lyric video, it features Nora Aunor and Tirso Cruz III—an iconic "love team" from 1970s Philippine cinema—overlaid with lyrics from Filipino rock band Aegis' famed anthem titled Halik ("Kiss" in Filipino).
