Ecological tree aims to show that ecosystem is a living organism with integral characteristics. Sunflower lamp represents sunlight and provides sunlight for the ecological tree. Sunflower leaves are simplified as switches with sunlight on the left and rain on the right. Ecological trees absorb rainfall water to grow and become recreational places for human recreation. You don’t have to cut down trees to get all-natural “plant chairs”.

From ancient times to the present, both ancestors and descendants are committed to protecting the environment. The work focuses on the presenting the color of the spring scenery, the selection of light yellow and green leaves as the main tone, grass and flowers are numerous, everything is bright. It is the net beauty of spring, so take the name of “Hope spring brightness”.

The work reflects the sense of cleanliness of the sea and nature. Using the combination of the two, the shadow of flowers and transparent fish and the surrounding texture set off against each other, reflect the integration of nature and clean, green color is more out of the sense of secular

Combining the elements of water and nature, it advocates clean and natural feeling, and the picture guides the pure feeling of nature with the motion of swimming fish and green water.

This project is a long journey of collecting and sharing memories about relationship of Human and Nature. The two dashes in-between Human and Nature represents an equation of ‘relationship’, as there are two agents, both side has their own answer how to respond to one another. Challenging with the ‘human-nature’ as we know. With Deep Ecology, one recognise the inherent value of all living beings. A deep questioning that reconnect one with nature, whether it’s small or big, in the city or the countryside. Asking one to stop, observe and re-evaluate how a small act in everyday life could make a great impact to ecosystem.
Objectives
1. To create a sharing session of deep listening experience where audience can be embraced in visual and
sound of various ‘connecting to nature’ memories that might awake their owns.
2. To raise awareness about ‘sustainability’ and how human and nature impact each other
3. To break biases: not judging a book by its cover. Everybody is ‘a human book’, full of inspiring memories.
Process Or Methods
Currently in a research phrase, collecting data with interview.
A collaborative documentary with various visual artists and sound designers, exploring interrelationship of sound and visual, using ‘devised theatre’ approach in creative collaboration. The structure will emphasise the experience of ‘talking stick’ and ‘deep listening’, one story end and the next one came in their own pacing.
This audio soundscape by Wardphan Diloksamphan is one of the possibility we are exploring, a kind of floating concept teaser for what the project might evolve into with an abstract visual that encourage audiences to fill the gab in their heads. This selective subject shared her moment of reconnecting with nature through meditative sounds during her time in hospital.
Human_Nature will be a long artistic-based research project that I will gradually form a team and build up a platform to share parts of interview text that are inspiring, focusing on Thais with various backgrounds. After getting a handful of interview materials, I and my sound design partner will make a script and start collaborating with other artists emphasising on letting them express their ‘impression’, as minimal as possible to still leave a room for audience to sink in their minds.
Inspiration
The idea came to me after joining a sharing session of a BA Creative Textile class under a ‘sustainability’ topic. Leaded by Kamonnart Ongwandee, an aspiring fashion and textile designer with a passion to solve social issues with sustainability principles, she asked the two questions; ‘Any experience that you feel connected with nature the most?’ and ‘How do you define ‘Sustainability’?’; then everybody took their turn to share their stories, including me. The process of sharing and deep listening are both crucial and very awaken those hidden memories one might have with nature. I would like to share and expand this experience with other people, with a believe that it could ignite a new ‘perspective’ of Human connection
to nature and why sustainability is important.

During Covid isolation, I began to see my felted experiments through different eyes by combining them into people forms. Their many textures and shapes reflected the modern family; never standardized, never homogenous, yet despite their individual differences, they are alike in their love for each other.

The idyllic view from my windows in rural Appalachia begins in the summer garden, meanders through green expanses, then continues to purple mountains and magnificent sunsets. Enjoy the view. (woven, felted)

In this one, I just tried to put myself in Mosquitoes’ shoes. This idea popped in my head when I was closing the window because I wanted to prevent mosquitoes from entering the apartment.
