This piece of art depicts a hidden depressing point of society. But powerful and comfortable people have never seen it! Thailand has a poor population of more than 90% of the total population. But power is in the hands of only 0.1% of the people, and the other 0.9% of the wealthy, the oligarchs ignore it. The upper class and the working class ignore the problems of the remaining 90% because they are on comfort. And it is believed that this country is completely peaceful, just like the capital city is Bangkok, meaning the city of the deity. Problems are hidden under the fake beauty of society. Wait for the time to erupt and it will eventually become the greatest problem. The artist wants everyone to be aware of this inequality problem. And help each other fix it before it’s too late Because this problem is not just in Thailand But in every country, there are many hiding places – poverty, sexism, racism. Some of the environmental problems in the world also have many impacts.
