การสำรวจสันดานดิบและการปลดปล่อยความปรารถนาซ่อนเร้นของมนุษย์ ณ ช่วงเวลาที่สามารถเป็นตัวของตัวเองได้อย่างไม่ถูกตัดสินและจำกัดความในสิ่งที่เป็น จากกรอบของสังคมและวัฒนธรรม

Artist Statement “ Do what you love as you are alone in your place. Loving yourself as no one can see or even judge.” I asked permission to bring their hidden side , to show themselves from the inside out.

Some of these photoset I worked with Ann Watinee. I interviewed her and found out that she is an ordinary woman but charming and her story is quite interesting. Her story makes me feel  that people do many things that are not themself and expect to beloved. Unfortunately, sometimes they are lost.

It’s not selfish to love yourself first. If someone else comes into your life.

“ This is my body ”

First, my passion to take a photography is a humans skin. After 13 years in my career ,

I found out that I also love humanity and humans thoughts.

You might have heard once if you grew up in a conservative country,

that you must respect traditional and culture

no matter how much it’s different from the way you are,

but some people forget that ‘ People are culture ’ and People have feeling , not culture.

This exhibition has been created and inspired by People in the northern Thailand who were born or have lived here, even who have moments here

and also comments in Social media nowaday.

I love nature and I believe that all are beautiful in their own way

and everyone has their own story.

Why Body-shaming? Cyberbullying?

There are toxic people who love to push someone down and ready to judge the others.

I doubt , if the toxic people say to themselves in the mirror badly?

I believe that the body cover the soul.

Outsider can see only a reaction but they have no idea what their true feeling are.

These photos also contains models story,experienced and thought.

I would love to communicate to both the society through my work,

the outsider looking in who must learn to respect the others

and those who are in the same situation to learn to respect and be proud of yourself.

Because Everyone Needs Respect.
