Medium and technique: Acrylic on canvas and graphite on paper.

Why this obsession with hair?
Our skin and body hair is something more than clothing. It is a part of our body. Animals’ body hair is about survival while people value their skin and body hair as something more than that—maybe they value it too much.

Is that the concept?
Yes, nowadays people focus and put a lot of value on their physical appearance until somehow they forget that humans are just animals. So, I present human simply as another kind of animal through their bare skin and body hair.

How are we different from animals?
Actually I found nothing different between humans and animals. Our brain is just more complex and we have social and cultural norms and value. All those things keep us away from nature, until we end up thinking we’re something superior comparing to animals. Actually, we are like them.

Who is your favorite artist?”
Lo-Lay Taweesak Sritongdee, artist and illustrator, is my favorite. I don’t know him personally but watching his work inspired me a lot in creating my own work.

I’ve watched your video presentation; can you explain the idea of the visual?
The visual presentation was designed to be a bit myserious. The story of human’s body hair is that it hides something and lets other see only what they want.
