Gallery VER

“Landscape and a Man Who Eats the Sun” is an exploration of the forbidden land. A land in which one is lost in time, unable to identify whether it is the past, the present, or the future. A land where inhabitants cannot determine whether they coexist together within the same realm and dimension. It is a land yet to be explored, awaiting visitors. Through various elements:

Night Light of Big City,

Nang Ta Nee Ghost Forest,

War Zones Along the River,

The Mountains and Seas in the Sky,

Love and Sickness,

Demon and Human,

Chai Siris expresses these strange dreams through various landscapes in his show.
