REVIEW
อะเดย์
Thailand
Namsai’s work brings a feeling of nostalgia, reminding viewers of childhood imagination and growing up. This is shown through the colors and the way the composition is arranged. The piece has a sense of roots and includes insects, which symbolically represent growth and change throughout different stages of life.
