2018 FRANZ Rising Star Project

Concept of artwork 設計理念:

My role as an explorer was initiated when I was a child and my doodles were treated as treasures. I recently moved from Thailand to pursue my Master of Fine Arts degree and have unavoidably been immersed in an entirely new culture. I have faced new and unforgettable experiences which have changed my life and the way I make art. Living in a totally unfamiliar world, with lasting impressions, has affected my work. In the beginning, I found that I was slowly and unconsciously changing into a new person and trying hard to blend into a new society and culture. After a period of time, I shifted back to myself, although a new, better version of myself. I realized that people from all around the world share similar feelings and you don't need to fit in to be happy. Everybody is unique and that is what makes people special as individuals. I aim to create sculpture and functional ware that encourages people to be unique, special and themselves, just like a lucky penny. I want to make ceramic art that brightens people’s lives and make them feel special in their everyday routines. I leave pinching marks and asymmetries on my sculpture and pottery as I cherish the imperfection on the surface.
