OBJECTS
WHEN THE OBJECT IN THE IMAGE SHOT BY ATIT SORNSONGKRAM WAS ISOLATED FROM THEIR SPATIAL CONTEXT, THE QUESTION IS, WERE THESE ‘OBJECTS’ REVEALING THEIR TRUE FORMS OR JUST CREATIONS FROM ATIT’S BIAS?
PHOTO ESSAY : FUTURE BOARD

This project is called ‘Future Board’ and it is a photo series of campaign posters from people who are volunteering to run the country in the future.
The initial intention was to go out and take pictures around the neighborhood. While I was riding in a car, I saw campaign posters on both sides of the road that caught my interest to explore different aspects of the campaign posters.
The posters are filled with policies, speeches, letters, and little connotations. Taking pictures is a way to record the promises made by politicians on the posters.
Campaign posters posted everywhere during elections may make the city vibrant, but they can also be visually polluting. Some posters are hastily posted without regard to pedestrians. Taking these pictures of posters raises the question: are campaign posters still effective?

PHOTO ESSAY : A LONELY JOURNEY

We’ve heard the phrase ‘traveling is a journey of self-discovery’ so often that it’s almost become a catchphrase. But even so, we’ve seen it inspire countless individuals to pack their bags and explore the globe. On the other hand, if the statement were changed and ‘alone’ was added to the equation. I wouldn’t be surprised if some people had second thoughts or abandoned the idea out of fear of the word and what it implies. But this assertion made me question myself. After a period of reflection, I overcame my fear and my thoughts became clear. I established a goal that I hoped would enable me to discover more about who I am. I began planning my first solo trip and haven’t looked back since. My journey to self-discovery has revealed that solo travel has become an important and meaningful chapter of my life. I’ve learned more about myself simply by spending time alone. Traveling alone allows me to linger longer over something or a location, appreciating all the details, my surroundings, and my emotions on a deeper level.
Upon observing architecture and design, I began recognizing the intention behind each work, how light and shadow affect a space at various times of the day, and the beauty that has been meticulously crafted and conveyed. It would not be incorrect to say that the famous quote is accurate. If I hadn’t been able to overcome my fear, I would have never had the courage to travel alone, and I certainly wouldn’t know myself as well as I do now.
