This series of works arose from an idea and curiosity about the excitement one feels while traveling to a different country, a province, or even a new location. It tends to be difficult to pinpoint the precise reason for the pleasure or exhilarating feeling that people have when they visit different places. It’s presumably how all these new experiences we have all at once combine into a certain “mood” or “vibe.” There are times when one doesn’t even question whether such excitement stems from experiencing something truly new or whether it’s their own perception that makes something feel new despite the fact that it may not be.
If we are able to observe things from such a mentality or perspective, perhaps the things or locations that impress us do not have to be iconic or anything suggested or validated by others. It could be anyplace. It might be a location we walk past every morning or a building we see on the side of the road while stuck in traffic.
This work is an imagination of a person’s first impressions of Thailand. If we can see these sites from this point of view, then the question is, what is it that actually excites us?
