Thanatcha Chairin’s solo exhibition feels like stepping into a space where the past and present negotiate quietly on the gallery walls. Her new sculptural works continue an investigation into how cultural objects evolve, reframing everyday forms to reveal their hidden lives. Wood carving and gold leafing, techniques steeped in tradition, coexist with humble, vernacular materials – from chopsticks to shipping envelopes – each piece charged with renewed significance. Familiar shapes are subtly distorted, reconstructed, or adorned, prompting reflection on the shifting meanings of ritual, value and memory in a world racing toward modernity. The result is a dialogue between reverence and reinvention, a gallery where history is never static but alive, pliable and strangely intimate, asking viewers to reconsider what tradition might mean today.
