Artist’s Note

This sculpture blends the form of a crucifix and a tank. A figure with a skull-marked helmet and mannequin arms evokes both tension and vulnerability. The base, built from street-worn objects, reflects movement, pressure, and time. I work with what others leave behind; materials that carry silent stories. Found in Bangkok, each fragment is reassembled to create new meaning. I do not seek to explain. I leave space for memory and interpretation to emerge.
