Happiness is an integral part of our existence, shaping our thoughts, health, longevity, and access to goodness. It even influences the way we live our lives. In essence, happiness is the nourishment that sustains us every single day. However, as we gradually grow older and drift away from our youthful innocence, the happiness that once felt so close in childhood becomes the most distant thing in adulthood.

“Although great pain will never fully disappear, small happiness, when accumulated, is powerful enough to eclipse the misery.”

This exhibition features works from artists using traditional printing presses and those who push the medium’s boundaries. The juxtaposition of these works invites the audience’s reflection on the physical actions and maneuvers in printmaking and how meanings are generated at a fundamental physical level.

That is the life force of the nature around us. in a different perspective They try to convey beauty through art based on experiences and feelings. while still maintaining the standard of beauty perfectly.

**Is it true that to be “Thai” one must strictly adhere to the characteristics defined by the Thai state?**

This question arose when I was challenged with the statement, “Your actions and attitudes are not like a Thai person’s at all.” This moment sparked the inspiration and motivation for my long-term project spanning from 2019 to 2024, titled “Decentralized Thainess – Diverse Perspectives on Thainess.”
