| Herbaria Studio is the spin-off art project of Benyakan Pongkitwitoon, a Bangkok-based Assistant Professor and science communicator who teaches botany and medicinal plant studies. Herbaria Studio transforms real plants—wildflowers, balcony blooms, farewell bouquets, any plants—into pressed works of art. Each leaf and petal is carefully preserved using herbarium techniques, then reimagined into collages and illustrations that tell new stories. |
