Time Out says

This project stretches the idea of wannarup far past its familiar edges. Portraits appear not through likeness but through language, drawing on figures whose influence spills across art, music, film, sport, faith and public life. Each subject arrives with a history already formed, a public presence shaped by work, belief and contradiction. Here, Thai script does the heavy lifting. Names become structure, with a first consonant anchoring the composition while vowels and tonal marks carry feeling and movement. Faces are never copied. Instead, identity emerges through rhythm, spacing and weight, allowing character to surface without mimicry. Typography becomes portraiture, design becomes biography. What results feels intimate yet restrained, a reminder that who we are is often written long before it is seen.
