This work explores the fragility of traditional culture amidst the rapid urban transformation. Each ceramic plate serves as a window into the narratives of Charoenkrung, reflecting its historical, architectural, natural, and communal dimensions. Pasutt focuses on the role of humans in relation to nature and space.
By utilizing ceramics—a material that is both fragile and enduring—Pasutt conveys the tension between permanence and change, mirroring the community’s need to adapt in the face of urban development. Each plate is crafted using a variety of techniques, including printing, painting, and the arrangement of diverse colors and textures, to present multiple perspectives on Charoenkrung as a living historical site.
The use of everyday objects like ceramic plates, coupled with a creative process rooted in the earth (ceramics), symbolizes the relationship between humans and natural resources. The Charoenkrung area is portrayed as an example of urban consumption and transformation.
Some plates depict the neighborhood’s historic architecture, emphasizing its unique identity, while others highlight natural elements that once nurtured the area before its rapid modernization. This body of work not only serves as a record of memory but also raises questions about the future of this space—whether it can maintain a balance between its past and its future.
Each plate becomes a fragment of the past, reassembled to invite viewers to explore, decode, and interpret the meaning of Charoenkrung from their own perspectives.
