My art making predominantly is experiencing perceptions on the sense of seeing and listening, with paintings, mixed media installations and sound compositions. The practice is a process of approaching materiality and spirituality through considering the subject of identity, nature, emotion, and material. I mostly use painting, text, sound, and found-object into my work, by expressing specific contents and perspectives to reflect on personal experience.

Khidthueng conveys longing to be in a particular place and persons, that connects association between origin, myth, and the material. The composition is organized with recordings from Khon Kaen and sounds of brass into the spiritual and experimental pattern. Imagination evokes from a field with sound that is beyond representation, leading to the personal nostalgic utopia.
Khidthueng is the Thai translation by phonetics, which means ‘miss’ or ‘longing’.
