ประเภทประชาชนทั่วไป


Traces of love (ร่องรอยจากความรักษ์)
This work uses an urban Muslim community in Bangkok to symbolically represent the artist’s hometown, expressing a sense of longing and nostalgia. It reflects peaceful coexistence within a diverse society of beliefs and cultures. Water stains are used as symbols of fading memories and a disappearing way of life.




Tammalang Village (หมู่บ้านตำมะลัง)
Tam Malang is a small coastal village on the Andaman Sea, surrounded by mangroves and sea canals. With no direct road access, boats connect its tightly clustered homes and narrow alleys. The absence of fences reflects a close-knit, supportive community, something increasingly rare today. This inspired a series of on-site sketches, later assembled into one piece, echoing the village’s intimate structure and spirit. A new bridge now links Tam Malang to the outside world. With it, change is inevitable; some things will remain, others may quietly fade.


The emotional identity of the varicose children (อัตลักษณ์ทางความรู้สึก ของเด็กผิวด่าง)
This piece expresses the emotional fragility of children with different appearances. Their sensitive feelings, like fragile wood, take years to strengthen amid a diverse society. The work calls for greater love and compassion toward these children.




Look alike
All things arise and fade with time. Some we choose, some we cannot, some we love, some we reject. Beyond appearances, we share much in common, yet our thoughts and feelings differ. Understanding this allows us to embrace both similarity and difference with an open heart, leading to true peace and joy.


 

 









ประเภทกลุ่มสถาบันการศึกษา



Pain is temporary
This piece reflects the artist’s experience growing up as a woman in a working-class family, shaped by loss, poverty, and social pressure. A new identity emerges, formed by cultural surroundings and inner conflict. Inspired by the Indonesian collective Rolupa and contemporary Asian art, the work explores themes of inequality, identity, and resilience through a blend of traditional techniques and personal narrative.




Joining forces in rural forest areas (ร่วมแรงร่วมใจในพื้นป่าชนบท)
Based on the artist’s experience growing up in a remote rural village, this work reflects the struggles of daily life on unsafe roads during the rainy season. It highlights the strength of community in overcoming hardship, using contemporary Thai painting and the traditional Karen costume to express cultural identity and call for better rural access and infrastructure



Shadowed Identity (อัตลักษณ์ที่ถูกเงากลบ)
This work highlights ongoing oppression rooted in rejecting diverse identities—gender, race, religion, or beliefs. A red-glowing figure lies still, symbolizing the individual’s struggle to be seen, overshadowed by dark silhouettes representing societal power and prejudice. It asks us if we’ve unknowingly “cast shadows” on others and challenges us to create safe spaces where all identities can shine without fear.




Does life have this repetition? (ชีวิตมีซ้ำนี้บ้อ)
This work reflects the life of rice farmers who labor under the sun from dawn to dusk for survival, often to the point of physical collapse and ending up in overcrowded public hospitals. The piece uses collage techniques with fertilizer sacks, rice grains, and medicine labels as symbolic materials.
