It reflects human behaviors in today globalization and capitalism era. In addition, this work is intended to mirror the ways we live our lives and the ways we have taken advantage of the environment and Mother Nature. We have been over consumed and over produced without taking care of the environment and nature around us.<\/p>\n<p>The conceptual idea of \u201cThis is Thailand\u201d is derived from the reinterpretation of jewelry as the reflection and expression of the artist to society regarding the diverse social issues. The significance of my work is the process of searching for new roles and functions of jewelry and the artist to rewrite a new definition of jewelry as the reflection and expression of the artist and a new definition of artist as a social activist, creator, as well as social and cultural sociologist, anthropologist and archeologist in today society.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/userblogs.ganoksin.com\/attagallery\/files\/2011\/12\/17.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-67\" src=\"http:\/\/userblogs.ganoksin.com\/attagallery\/files\/2011\/12\/17.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"259\" height=\"173\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>These jewelry pieces and their stories especially the entire creative process have become the vehicle for not only the reflection of my conceptual ideas and philosophy but for the wearer to share and express his or her individual expression through my work as well.\u00a0\u00a0 Moreover, this body of work acts as the movable media on the body to communicate ideas, new interpretations and points of view to the public. In this body of work, trashes on the beautiful beaches around Thailand have been given the new lives in the context of contemporary cultural signifiers to communicate to the public. This creative research utilizes the methodology of observation, collecting cultural leftover and recording data. The process of analysis and synthesis of creative design process is the most important element of this creative research.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, in this body of work, I investigate our everyday activities regarding the social issues to reveal our humanity in today society. I utilize my work as a mirror to examine the roles of jewelry and our responsibilities to the community, nature, environment, and the world. Therefore the roles and functions of this body of work have been to redefine the definition of jewelry as cultural and social objects that speak about time, culture, environment, and social behaviors including philosophy of the artist in contemporary contexts.\u00a0 This work not only has a practical function to adorn the wearers\u2019 bodies, but a cultural function to decorate the environment, human soul, society, and the world, making them prettier and better place to live. \u00a0The value of the work is emphasized on the idea of the work and the meaning that the work communicates not the commercial value of materials.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/userblogs.ganoksin.com\/attagallery\/files\/2011\/12\/3805.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-64 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/userblogs.ganoksin.com\/attagallery\/files\/2011\/12\/3805.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"259\" height=\"173\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I use my work as an open-ended language.
