Make Tea
Year: 2023
Amid conflict and violence in the region, Prach keens to record personal history through fabric sculptures –produced with local housewives and filled with stories of each individual concerning struggle to maintain one's identity while facing diverse emotions, among the seemingly endless seasons. Pieces of cloth from each housewife in Pattani, Yala and Narathiwat were brought to sew in a patchwork style, weaved into an abstract story, creating ordinary conversations and natural healing among each other. As if they are inventing a safe space in a shared imagination.
The artist has also created a tea corner including local tea brewing recipes, to invite viewers to indulge in the story of this fictional safe space amidst the conversation between the guests
