This project comprises two works. First, Arrival, shown on the ground floor as part of the "Speculative Futures – Siamese Futurism" series. This moving image work unfolds within the ruins of a former monument cast as a “Theatre of Fascist Ideals.” Power is portrayed through state uniforms, perfection, and rigidity. But beneath this surface lies a tender myth: the tale of Nang Phom Hom, a fragrant-haired heroine whose fragility evokes a dream on the brink of collapse. Her body stands in for the state, her longing a space for grief, fear, and awakening. Aesthetics, legend, and the trauma of authoritarian dreams collide in a choreography of gentle ruin.

Second, The Eye the Storm. On the upper floor, air, silence, and ephemeral images drift in layers. Projected softly with stereo sound, the space becomes a misty séance of memory not a return to what once was, but a breathing, shifting ritual guided by the audience’s presence. This artwork becomes a collective rite of dreaming, a journey through the storm's eye, where ideologies clash and exile echoes. This storm is no mere natural event. It is emotional, political, and historical. It carries away dreams, transforms others, and reveals what still waits, in silence, to be spoken. In this ritual of dreaming together, the audience is not a bystander but a co-dreamer, standing within the shadow of projected memory, listening for the voices that were lost, calling the spirit—Kwan—home again.

A Storm that Took Everything offers a tender revision of the roots beneath state ideology, proposing that not all can be conquered.

Some parts of us remain cradled in warmth, in love, in longing, awaiting the day we return to them.

To the warmth that was always beside us.
