Legend · Wantland

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The work is part of a dual installation exploring the loss of childhood innocence under the shadow of sugar addiction. The boy represents joy and purity, though subtle signs of dependency have already begun to appear. The bitten sugar crystals hint at self-destruction — sweet on the surface, yet carrying something heavier underneath. Each piece of sugar marks the shift from simple pleasure to a quiet, growing addiction — where happiness turns into a never-ending search for the next treat. PLANET: Wantland EXHIBITIONS: Art Busan 2025 (Busan); Icon Siam Solo Show 2023 (Bangkok).

The making

Sketch → 3D sculpting → photopolymer printing → surface finishing repeated up to five times → hand painting in two-three acrylic layers → assembly on brass pins. Every piece is painted by hand — no two are alike.
