Making of:
Looking at maps of the Bangkok area I was captivated by the sinuous course of the Chao Phraya river. Keeping the silhouette of the river as the central shape, I started to think of colors shapes and patterns that would represent my perception of the city.
The four panels are made of MDF boards and finished with a combination of acrylic paint, sand, spray-paint, paper and glue.
Customizations:
While remaining committed to the original shape of the Chao Phraya river flowing through Bangkok, the options for customization are infinite, playing with colors, textures and thickness.
