Painting Series : My body, I can sell

This painting series are stories of street sex workers in Bangkok, Thailand. This hidden problem became my inspiration. As the number of sex workers in public spaces has been increasing among of various age and gender in the ages, whereas it is forgotten by the rest of society. I conducted on fieldwork by collaborating with Issarachon Foundation in Thailand, who works on homeless and sex workers in public spaces issue. Then, I collected their stories and interpret different aspects of human universals through my own perspectives. My propose to talk about different aspects of lives and humanitarian reason, rather than portraying judge by cultural norm and society. This painting series were developed, while I was in artist in residence program in Leipzig, Germany. And it was shown in group exhibition in Leipzig, Germany in the year 2020.
