Weaving Wishes on A Spinning Wheel｜Kamonlak Sukchai｜HKIPF Satellite Exhibitions 2023 Introduction

วงวาร (Thai title name)

The cycle of birth and death is certain, yet uncertainty in our existence stimulates our search for meaning. Humans assign meaning to everything, from heaven to hell. We weave wishes on an empty floor…

‘วงวาร‘ offers a mystery of life through intricate mythical symbols embodying countless tiny souls, and through tarot. From the largest circle in the universe to the smallest point — the minuscule circle represents the artist’s presence in the past, present, and future — our lives are layered with question, with Atta and desire, and spin in the wheel of life...
