I eventually shifted to video. Video opened up new conditions, or freed me from old conditions.

I'm still useful in my capacity as an arts educator and caretaker for the stray dogs.

What is difficult is to keep the sweet voice with an aggressive message.

Women in Thai society have been placed in the space of the home. It is possible that women have assuredly taken up that place without thinking too critically about it.

In academic circles, especially, I was criticized for lacking morals, values, and ethics. I'm feeding that angry feminist reading of my work.

Thai society rarely attempts to control literature in the same way that it vigilantly polices visual art. It's ironic because people in this society are more aware of literature than they are of art.

There might just be a universal expectation to respect the dead, but my work is also born from another aspect of Thai society - that is, the overemphasis on familial bonds.

I extol life so much that I cannot make art.

Daydream. Because you can't accomplish what you've never fully imagined.

Effort is the one strictly undervalued and original contribution we make to this world.
