| Hi! I’m Orn-in Dejsakulrit, a Thai illustrator based in Bangkok, although online I usually go by my pen name, Wunmoon. I enjoy drawing hands, women, and water, and most of my work uses these elements along with other symbolism to retell my personal experience. | |
Happy 26th Birthday
I have never really celebrated my birthdays. But when I turned 26 this year, I looked back and, compared to before, life has been so much better and calmer. For that, I am thankful.
Candle, Pearls, and a Touch of Fire
I keep pretty things on my desk to remind myself that life is still filled with delightful little moments.

The Void
An excerpt from my thesis art book, ‘Patchwork of Emotions, that talks about my personal experiences with mental illness. In this particular story, I liken having a mental illness to falling into an endless and pitch-black void. And how sometimes, when anything shiny comes along, you don’t hesitate to grab onto it, even if it might be a whole new kind of hell.
Time heals some wounds
Time heals some wounds, but I hope time heals all of yours.
Misery
Beautiful, beautiful butterflies, How many more will have to die before I pull myself from this misery?
Reminders
Inspired by ‘I WANT TO BE SO AWFULLY HAPPY THAT I NEVER NEED TO WRITE POETRY AGAIN.‘ by Mimicking Maelstrom.
Telephone
An excerpt from my art book ‘Permission to Just Exist In this book, I talked about how it felt when I finally gave myself permission to stop and just exist.In this particular scene, all of the telephones in the house were thrown out the window, an act of self-isolation. When I struggled the most, I felt like I had to power through by doing more—working more, socializing more, and giving more of myself. It was when I finally stopped that I realized what I really needed was time to myself.
New shoes
I painted this picture after I had finally gotten myself new shoes. I wanted this shoe for a really long time, but for a long time, buying a lot of shoes was an indicator of the onset of an episode. When I started getting help, buying new shoes became a trigger.So when I finally bought the shoes that I’ve been putting off getting, I really wanted to paint the moment I tried them on and how I felt so cute in them.
