Artwork Description
The Great Birth is inspired by symbols and characters from traditional Pha Phawet cloths, a form of Isan folk art depicting the Vessantara Jataka. These works have long passed on religious beliefs and teachings within local communities.
The work draws on the long visual tradition of Pha Phawet, bringing its narrative forms into Champ Sittichoke’s contemporary practice.
