| This collection of 10 pieces represents moments from my personal journey over the past year. Even though they weren't originally drawn as a series, bringing them together captures a snapshot of a long period spent deeply with myself—riding through moments of instability, happiness, and many ups and downs. My creative process is completely intuitive; I just let the lines flow with my raw feelings at that exact moment. In the end, all of these mixed emotions and challenges have bloomed into who I am today. It’s an honest journey that starts with uncertainty and honestly, I am still navigating the lingering anxieties and ups and downs even now. But ending this collection with 'The Sun' isn't a perfect happy ending—it's just my choice to look toward warmth and keep moving forward anyhow. | |
A Spell Beyond Rules
The desire to break free from strict rules, even while being watched. It represents a small, continuous effort to build my own freedom, piece by piece.
A Blink of Light
Like a sudden moment when you think, 'Wait, did I just see something light pass by?' This piece captures the speed and free-flowing movement of a mysterious shining character.
Huey's Golden Embrace
Drawn during a time of health anxiety and uncertainty. I visualized myself wrapped inside the golden fur of Huey, my beloved senior poodle who passed away years ago. Even though he is gone, drawing him hugging me gave me the ultimate comfort and strength to face the unknown.
Sulking Devil
A little devil having a small, sulky moment with the world. It’s not about anger; it’s just that feeling when things are frustrating and you just want to sit down and be a bit quiet. (Yes, this little devil is me.)
The Nine of Wands Moment
Inspired by that exact feeling of leaning into a corner to rest after fighting so many battles in life. Just taking a temporary halt to catch my breath, sigh it out, and recharge. Then, a shooting star falls right above my head—as if whispering, 'See that light ahead? We’ll get there eventually, just not right now.
The Unshakable Guardian
A guardian bear deity created from my love for adapted Thai traditional line art. He looks fierce and unfriendly, but his core is completely unshakable. He stands as a powerful, rock-solid foundation that can bear any heavy storm or inner shaking without moving a single inch. A reflection of finding true stability within.
The Tug of War Within
Drawn right after finishing chemotherapy. It captures the chaotic tug-of-war inside my own head—between the side that screams "I must take perfect care of my health!" and the side that just wants to play and enjoy life. Both went to extremes and pulled me apart. In the end, this piece taught me that it doesn’t have to be perfect. Just being comfortable and kind to myself is enough.
The Lotus Boy
There was a moment when I panicked, thinking about how many things in life I still hadn't done. It led me to overwork and draw until I was completely exhausted. This white, pure lotus character was born to heal myself—like a gentle hand patting my head, telling me to slow down, be calm, and take it bit by bit. It’s a moment of shifting my focus back to my own inner peace.
