For my major commission at ICONSIAM, a prominent shopping destination in Bangkok, I wanted to celebrate Thailand’s rich tradition of craftsmanship.

Created under the theme Siam Handmade, the installation features seven large ceramic sculptural hands. Each hand represents a traditional Thai craft or skill passed down through generations: the carpenter, therapist, sculptor, smith, weaver, painter and gastronomer.
