Recent Activities and Artwork
How has your artistic practice or personal life changed since winning the Kiaf HIGHLIGHTS award?
I’ve been preparing for my solo exhibition and the upcoming art fairs this year. In particular, I am expanding on the work I presented at Kiaf HIGHLIGHT last September, conducting research alongside my creative process to deepen my artistic world. I hope to continue evolving and showcasing new developments in my work.
Could you introduce any recent exhibitions, projects, or collaborations?
Last winter, I had the valuable opportunity to participate in group exhibitions and art fairs overseas. In November 2024, I presented my work at ‘Stemming from Umwelt’, a group exhibition held at Tang Contemporary in Beijing, which allowed me to explore my art from a fresh perspective. In December, I took part in the inaugural Access Bangkok Art Fair, where I had the meaningful experience of engaging with a diverse international audience.
International Activities and Plans
Do you have any upcoming exhibitions, fairs, or projects abroad?
From April 25 to June 5 this year, I will have my first international solo exhibition at Weserhalle in Berlin, Germany. This exhibition is particularly significant for me, so I plan to visit Berlin in person to communicate with gallerists and audiences actively. I am especially looking forward to Gallery Weekend Berlin (May 2nd–4th), which takes place during my exhibition, as it will be a great opportunity to immerse myself in the Berlin art scene and introduce my work to a wider audience.
Future Plans and Goals
What are your upcoming plans or goals for your artistic career?
I am thrilled to be presenting my first solo exhibition in Germany, and I aim to continue showcasing my work on various international stages. Additionally, I hope to participate in artist residency programs abroad, engage with artists from different cultural backgrounds, and present my work to new audiences to gain fresh inspiration.
