Catalogue Note

"I'm curious about what humans might be concealing beneath their outer shells. They may appear normal, but in fact they could be extraterrestrials. My art allows me to escape the daily pressures of societal existence and so when I observe life, fantasy takes over". - Thaweesak Srithongdee
