The exhibition of Sculptures which the artist created from Thai banknote as a main material and form all these 365 masterpieces from each day in a year. It tells us what is going on in a day through phrases on the sculptures. The material is inspired and develop from his last exhibition showing Buddha Image “Those who see the justice, those who see me” “Untitled (The Buddha said if you see Dhamma, you will see me)”, 2002. Plus, in this year, this artwork from paper mache (banknote) with a content about justice (Dhamma) basically exists in nature, not in an individual in which the artist considered thoroughly without weariness to get to understand the nature of existence and self going on day by day as if he is writing his diary.
“Money”, from the beginning, it is valued for the purpose of barter and exchange. Up till now, , money is used totally different, it seems to be a sign of Power which is able to fulfill all your needs and satisfaction. Worst of all, it seems to be the “new god” which most people use it as a new standard for evaluating and valuing all materials that relate to our daily lives. He would like to point out his view and convince the audiences to look deep inside the real value of things not just only surface or illusion.
