| I am a Thai mixed media artist who creates artworks using hand embroidery, acrylic painting, fabric appliqué, and stitching. My practice combines textile techniques and painting to create dreamlike worlds inhabited by human-animal characters. Inspired by memories, nature, and imagination, I explore themes of identity, emotional growth, and inner journeys. Through layered textures and symbolic storytelling, I hope my work invites viewers to reconnect with their own memories and emotions. |

A Gentle Drift
A quiet, dreamlike journey of a small being drifting through soft waters, gently searching for a place to belong. A rabbit-headed girl rides a great goldfish through a pastel pink world — serene, unhurried, simply drifting.
The Sea Within
The Sea Within is a reflection on the quiet ocean of memory that lives within us. Guided by a whale carrying a lighthouse and a home, the child journeys through an inner world where fragments of childhood continue to shine. The work suggests that home is not merely a place, but a feeling preserved in memory—a light that gently guides us back to ourselves.
Mind Voyage
A peaceful exploration into the landscapes of the mind. Like a warm cup of coffee that grounds us in the present, it simultaneously sets our imagination free. Sometimes, the most profound adventures happen within—where memories drift like balloons, and every small thought builds a beautiful world of its own.
Internal Voyage
Diving into the quiet ocean of the mind. In this journey, the whale becomes a vessel navigating the depths of memory and the inner self. Together with our thoughts and memories anchored safely inside, we explore the beautifully submerged landscapes waiting to be rediscovered—waiting to rediscover ourselves in order to grow.
The Blooming Rabbit
The white rabbit crowned against a dark background symbolizes purity and quiet strength within uncertainty. The floral garment reflects beauty, growth, and resilience, while the contrast of light and darkness reminds us that gentleness can still shine with dignity in any circumstance.
Toy Plane Within
A nostalgic reflection on childhood memories and the journey of inner growth. The toy plane serves as a symbol of early dreams and innocence, reminding us that as we navigate the complexities of growing up, the playful spirit and wonder of our younger selves remain a guiding light within.
Voyage To The Inner Child
A poignant journey back to our childhood memories. It reflects the bittersweet reality of adulthood, where we often find ourselves hiding our true essence or vulnerable sides behind acceptable facades. This work serves as a safe space to reconnect with that innocent inner child we carry within, reminding us to embrace who we truly are.
Beyond The Farewell
An exploration of farewells within our inner journey. While goodbyes are naturally tinged with sadness, they can simultaneously hold a profound sense of warmth. Like a plane lifting off into a vast sky, leaving something behind is never easy, but we move forward through our internal landscapes carrying the beautiful, warm memories that keep us whole even in times of longing.
