My work explores and reflects the many facets of human experience, from quiet reflections on my own thoughts and emotions to observations of everyday life and the world around me.

Through a blend of simple line and playful use of color, I try to capture the unseen concepts hidden beneath tangible things.

I brought home a Dendrobium orchid from a plant fair last December.
By February, it had burst into bloom, covered in clusters of flowers.
Since it only flowers for a brief period each year, I wanted to preserve the vitality it brought into my days beneath the afternoon sun through this painting.

Brunch Near Me

This is my first book, published with Piccolo Publishing

It is a graphic novel built around the core concept of 'reconnecting with yourself through slowing down'.

This idea is explored through the simple act of going out for brunch, following four characters at different stages of life: Fai (25), Kram (35), Prim (45), and Pen (62).

Each stage of life brings its own inner struggles, and each person navigates them in different ways. What they share, however, is the need to slow down to fully face what their hearts truly seek.

Beyond the emotional journey, the story unfolds against the backdrop of various neighborhoods in Bangkok, capturing small, tender moments and quiet observations along the way.

In high school, I attended an art school while preparing for art college entrance exams. Blue trumpet vines cascaded down along the stairways and walkways.

Those years were filled with excitement and ambition, yet they were also the first time I felt a deep sense of peace, like I had finally found where I belonged.

Whenever I think of that place, I think of the blue trumpet vine. To me, it has become a symbol of youth, quiet confidence, and the calm that comes from being on the right path.

The beauty of a flower exists throughout its entire life cycle,
from the moment it first emerges,
to when it blooms in full,
to when its petals begin to fall.
It remains beautiful as it slowly changes color,
dries into a delicate crispness, and eventually crumbles into dust.

A friend brought me a batik sarong from Southern Thailand as a souvenir.
Since then, I’ve found myself wondering what I could turn it into, or what occasion might feel right to wear it.

What if we don’t make it to the other side in time?

By then, everyone will have grown up,
learning how to carry the heavier parts of life.

I wonder–
will we be able to bear them too?

It portrays the emotional journey of the main character, Momoko, as she begins to experience the beauty of life as it is after her husband’s death, with the values that once bound her gradually falling away.

This is conveyed through the image of an ordinary grandmother sitting inside her home, bathed in sunlight. Certain lines gently blur, as her gaze drifts outward, connecting to the back cover, where a mountain landscape slowly emerges, lingering in her thoughts throughout the story.

It tells the story of two people facing different health challenges, yet both equally disruptive to their daily lives. These struggles make it difficult for them to look ahead to the future. However, as they begin to share their burdens with each other, a sense of mutual support emerges and getting through each day gradually becomes easier.

To reflect the possibility of a future that gradually begins to feel within reach, I chose a vast cobalt blue sky that would catch the viewer’s eye even from afar. Looking more closely, they would find that on the front and back covers, the two main characters are quietly taking turns watching over one another, a small gesture of support that helps them keep moving forward.

Have yourself a little seventeen heartbreak.

One of the things I enjoy most about exhibiting at fairs is creating a key visual for each occasion.

I love that some people want to collect them, too. It feels like we’re all part of the same little club, connected by something we share.

And over time, creating these visuals has also helped me see my own branding more clearly.
