ARTIST STATEMENT

I work in visual arts by using data on cultural diversity collected from diaspora and migrant camp as my departure point. To encourage human rights dialogue and investigate the intersections between human, culture, tradition and history. 

I started addressing the ethnic matter of MON indigenous in Southeast Asia by focusing on the hereditary Animism in my family.  Over the past seven years, I went back to the Thai-Myanmar border migrant camp where I was born and raised to research migration issues including the study of history and politics.  To collect the data for the artwork process In order to portray the relation between past behavior is linked to the present.

I incorporate the crossover methodology.  The cross-production process is highlighted in order to include the audience in many aspects of the work.
