PHOTO ESSAY : BETWEEN COMING AND GOING

Between Coming and Going is a photographic series shaped by years of traveling and observing nature. Along the way, I have encountered places that remain ecologically rich, places undergoing change, and places where aspects of the natural world survive only in memory. These experiences have led me back to a fundamental question: What, exactly, is the relationship between humans and nature?
Our lives depend on soil, water, air, food, and the living beings around us. At the same time, we classify these things as ‘resources’ and transform them in the name of ‘development.’ What happens in one place is often repeated somewhere else, making it impossible not to wonder: What have we learned from what has already come before?
This photographic series gradually moves through three passages of time: what we carry with us from the past, the present in which we are now living, and what still remains before us.
Photographs, memories, fabric, and colors derived from nature are brought together as a way to reconsider these relationships once again—and to reflect on how we are living alongside the world.
Measured against the vast timescale of the Earth, our lives may be no more than fine lines that appear, remain for a while, and then disappear. Yet within that brief span, our choices still leave traces that extend into the lives of others.
Perhaps what needs healing is not nature alone,
but the relationship between humanity and the world.
And while so much still remains before us, I would like to invite us all to look again—and to consider what may be the most important question of all:
During the time we have been given on this Earth, how will we relate to this home, and what kind of world will we pass on to one another?
That question begins now.

PHOTO ESSAY : THE UNINVITED
TEXT & PHOTO: PLOY NIPATUTIT

This photographic series began with a question that emerged from my everyday life: Why is ‘not being invited’ such an uncomfortable yet intriguing experience?
I discovered that ‘not being invited’ is remarkably complex. Hidden within it are feelings of awkwardness, alienation, loneliness, and worthlessness, as well as the sense that one is intruding on someone else’s space. More than that, it can also harbor feelings of self-pity.
Yet the experience evokes an entirely different response when it happens to someone else. I found myself reacting in the opposite way, sometimes looking at the uninvited with derision or amusement, as though they were ridiculous or even pitiful.
We are naturally more sensitive to the hurt when we are at the center of such a situation. When it happens to someone else, however, we tend to be less empathic.
At the same time, ‘not being invited’ can take on another meaning. It may represent a conscious decision to remain within one’s own space—a choice that everyone, including myself, has every right to make.
Exploring ‘not being invited’ through the photographic series The Uninvited has led me to reflect on freedom, self-acceptance, and the possibility of choosing a path in life without allowing the gaze of others to determine its course. The series also invites others to consider what the phrase might mean to them from their own perspectives.
