Pen, Gouache on Paper (29.21 x 29.21 cm)
Tower is an image of the mineshaft that my grandad used to work in. The workers from Tower Colliery had a major role in the 1984 Miners Strike. His fight against mine closures and the fall of industrial communities is what he is remembered for. The board to the right is a list of miners who tragically died in an explosion in 1962, which my grandfather was witness to. The artwork was made to honour the fight for better work conditions by my grandad and the miners.

The installation Home is an abstract piece of work surrounding the piece ต้นโพธิ์, which is an continuation of my reflection upon my Thai roots. Due to Covid-19 pandemic preventing me from flying back to Thailand. The installation of colourful separated watercolour papers suspended from the ceiling, exhibits my blurred yet tranquil vision of Thailand. It captures my emotions and my fragmented perception of Thailand that I so dearly miss.
