Her installation speaks directly to the viewer, stressing the violence and tragic consequences of war through the use of materials as symbols. “Ruin”, says the artist, is not a story of any specific war but a representation of all conflicts in this chaotic world.
Born in Thailand’s south, the 30-year-old artist combines found objects, natural elements such as rocks and minerals, and painted elements that recall traditional Thai art and architecture. Through her abstract works, she explores Buddhist philosophy and cosmology. Utilising a combination of raw, natural materials with found objects of contemporary origin, her works imbue the painted designs and motifs endemic to traditional Thai art with the universal and persistent themes of loss, suffering, devastation, and the karmic cycles of death and rebirth.
