| I’m Jira an artist/ illustrator who works under Jirayu Koo name. I enjoy making positive visuals inspired from all things around with bold shapes and colours combination. The roly-poly characters in my work are myself in difference versions and that version of me is always seeking an optimistic side of all matters around. I wanted to celebrate it by creating Glom-Glom characters and tell stories through them. I guess it’s my very personal way of dealing with this hectic world, using a positive thought against the ugliness that get crazier these days. And I really hope that my works may bring joy and smile to if not everyone then some. | |

Awakening Summer Dream
A Siam Kempinski Hotel Bangkok x Jirayu Koo special afternoon tea edition.In this strange time that we are all in together has brought us so many uncertainties in life
Sometimes, we don't really know how to handle it physically and mentally.
I myself as an artist, also personally experience this, struggle to balance my feelings toward this unprecedented situation. Lockdown has become a familiar term. One summer, and continues to two has been disappeared. I'm still very much here but at the same time also elsewhere. It seems like I'm floating between a blurred line of the state of being awake and asleep, do not know where to go. I've spent times try to ignore this sentiment
until I realized that it's much more at ease to acknowledge its existence and befriended with feelings of mine rather than against it.
I started to take time for myself when I can genuinely focus on what is matter to me.
Taking deep breaths, listen to my inner self, drawing what has come to my mind at that moment and enjoy what is before my eyes help to keep me at the very present. And I find that has carried me walking in this blurred line much happier.
In this Awakening Summer Dream Afternoon Tea, I would like to invite you to enjoy what is presented in front of you as well as embrace what is inside you. For a moment, allow yourself some time to escape from what you have been carrying through this strange time. Give your inner self space to play and be delighted with what you are about to experience with all your five senses. My Glom-Glom Gang along with Chef's creations will help guide you through this Awakening Summer Dream afternoon tea to see where will this journey be able to take you.
