Oil and pastel on canvas, 19 3/4 x 15 3/4 inchesHow do you think this work connects to or builds upon the show's larger theme?
Both paintings in the show are the re-interpretation of my past selves, and I re-approached them with a present instinct to see the possibilities of becoming a new self. The painting process always starts with a vague image of the experiences I witnessed or the reflection of my past self that remains perplexed.has built upon the image of my young self who was afraid of socializing. She was sitting far away from the sparkling group of flowers that represent the community.
How has your understanding of"self" shifted this year, especially under such unprecedented circumstances? My understanding of self has been shifting every year. It changes following the cultural world and the society that keeps changing, and the more I grow up the more I see new aspects of the self. Many years ago, I had never thought about the influences on my identity. I had a quiet personality and often found it difficult to speak out my real thoughts. However, this year is one of the most remarkable years for self-reflection.
I am now back in Thailand and because of COVID-19 I have been staying here almost a year now. I am 26, the age that I get to see the cultural reality clearer, become aware of politics and collective consciousness. Especially, now there are revolutionary protests in Thailand calling for human rights and freedom of expressions. So, I reflected back to when I was young and there was a system that children must not argue against adults' conservative beliefs.
