Installation view, White Gallery BKK, Bangkok
The components of paintings, sculptures, and flowers intertwines their narratives, materials, and aesthetics. Paintings set the ambiance for other elements, with sculptures crafted from discarded materials redefining their worth.
Flowers symbolize life and, inevitably, death, juxtaposed with human-made objects.
How often do we contemplate this fleeting moment?
Yet, as we begin to ponder, it slips away
And when the world's end draws near...
Is the apocalypse the real finale?
Time rushes on, visible and then gone in a heartbeat
Each of us, like stardust, destined to be swept
away by the grandeur of this vast universe
We'll crumble like withered leaves
As we... I mean all of us, encompassing every being and thing—
Human and non-human
River and skin, Silver and limbs
Hands upon the earth
Hearts pulsating
As we— I mean all of us, life and death, peace and war, bitter and sweet.
