Packed in the concrete residences, Bangkokians have been sought for a dream of getting access to nature. However, there is a lack of parks in urban areas when compared with the ratio size of residences, roads, and commercial buildings that have been deliberately increasing nowadays.
What Bangkok has always been portrayed to us is the illustration of a green city fantasizing the chance of community getting closer to the environment. Those images were consistently used for promoting in several real estate advertisements. Moreover, many construction sites were decorated with vinyl posters simulating the green ambience in order to highlight their image towards the projects in a district and connect the individuals’ utopia dream of the city.
If we take a closer look, we will be able to steadily observe the transformation of the green decorations throughout the time. The messages included inside those images will appear to change differently from the beginning. The result seems to be a reflection of the city people’s intense desire for the true nature in order to recompense their shallow life. This reveals the illusion dream of city people that is still quite far away from reality.
