Artwork Description
Journey Through Isan Sim is inspired by symbols and characters found in Hoop Taem Sim Isan, traditional mural paintings from north-eastern Thailand. Historically, these images passed on religious beliefs and teachings and helped communities live together peacefully.
The work connects Champ Sittichoke’s contemporary practice with the visual language of Isan mural painting and local cultural memory.
