My practice explores the intersection of urbanism, memory, and markets through immersive mixed-media works that investigate how everyday environments shape identity, perception, and belonging. I am interested in how urban spaces function not only as physical infrastructure but also as emotional and psychological landscapes. Influenced by psychogeographic approaches to artmaking, I am drawn to overlooked encounters, unusual scenes, and hidden temporalities within the streets of South-East Asia. Fleeting moments and fluorescent light reflecting on pavements, or fragmented sounds of commerce and conversation, form the foundation of my visual language.
Shaped by memory and childhood experience across different cultural contexts, my perspective examines subtle cultural differences and peculiar situations to explore broader social questions. Growing up between cultures heightened my awareness of how familiarity and estrangement can coexist within the same space. In my works, lighting, found objects, and architectural fragments are layered to create immersive environments that echo the sensory complexity of lived experience. By reconstructing remembered spaces, I invite viewers to move through environments that feel both intimate and publicly recognisable.
Drawing on theoretical frameworks that position memory as spatially embedded, my work creates personal “sites of memory” where fragments of childhood in Thailand are preserved, translated, and reassembled. These become emotional archives in which everyday scenes operate as symbolic structures through cultural histories and individual narratives intersect. Through repetition, layering, and fragmentation, particularly within printmaking, I mirror the reconstructive nature of recollection.
Ultimately, my practice seeks to question how cities remember, how identity is negotiated through space, and how ordinary moments can hold profound social and historical significance.
