Nok is pursuing the meaning of ‘life’ and meaning of ‘money’ and leaving her perspective on her installations and 2-dimensional work. Over the past 7 year as an immigrant in the UK from Thailand she investigates the cause and effect of her personal life circumstance and observes the other’s of the majority(society) within her surrounding from both her motherland and new home. Nok encourages individual spiritual-freedom to replace the conformity or safe ways of living/instant life-style and expectation that many of us are not conscious of social forces or in some cases we do not recognize spiritual freedom as we believe materialistic freedom makes us fit-in or even superiority and finally happiness. Nok commits her ethic on making one a spiritually happy individual as the beginnings of a cohesive world and believing changes are possible is the beginning of all possibilities. The physical conditions-truth of life and economical conditions draws similar scenarios as to how our lives fall into place across the world. The paradox between the essence of life and the essence of money challenges questions and balance on both physical and social survival. Fear to follow one’s own will ,differing from the mainstream and living without listening to one’s own voice is suicidal or self-imprisonment in the artist’s point of view.
Nok deals with her executions spontaneously with her sarcastic voice, she playfully builds the combination and binding of disparate objects. This body of work are architectural, they convey the matrix contents within our industrial dominated circle and universal significance of shelter, achievement, survival and life circumstances from immigration hardship, overeducation in employment, social identity manipulation to marriage for conveniences.
