HEMP Project
Border Landscape – Mekong River unfolds like an abstract map of northern Chiang Rai, Thailand, near the borders of Laos and Myanmar, where three countries meet along the Mekong River. Political, geographic, and human boundaries overlap and shift within this landscape. While political borders are defined by law and history, natural features such as rivers, mountains, and forests shape boundaries in their own rhythms. Through weaving, the artist translates these layered boundaries into a tactile language of color, form, and texture. Using both natural and synthetic fibers, the work reflects on how land, ecological cycles, and human activity—through trade, travel, and daily life—continuously reshape the landscape.
The works are part of "The Unbearable Lightness - Solo Exhibition"
