Som Chay chose the word « หัวโขน » , pronounced « Hua-Korn » and meaning « mask ».
Som Chay and his wife create traditional Thai masks and have a real passion for it. They showed me their inspiring work before I started painting!
On this mural I tried to play with the Thai script a little more than in the previous murals. I’ve been looking at signs, packaging and Thai newspapers to see how it’s possible to play with the letters while still making them legible.
