Than chose the word « ยิ้ม » meaning « smile ».
Than is a hair dresser who has a salon right by the walls I’m painting in the area of Haroon. She has been looking after me by giving me water, tea, biscuits, and storing my equipment, so naturally I thought of asking her to choose a word.
It didn’t surprise me when she said “smile”, as I have never seen her face in an other configuration.
I used dots on the whole wall to give a bit of texture and to soften the colours a little.
This mural was painted for Krung Thep Creative Streets, a mural festival organised by several European Embassies and in particular Sawasdee France. Thank you to Astrid Renoux for the organisation!
