Hello everyone, this is my first collection that I decided to sell on OpenSea. I would like to share my still photography work, shot with Sony A6500.
Those who support my work will receive a 16x24 inches [A2] print delivered to their home, as a limited edition with an edition number on the back of the work for authenticity.
Amidst the foul odor of waste, which is a breeding ground for pathogens, combined with a low-lying foggy background and nature that appears dimensionally balanced yet contradictory. This series contains elements that reflect the harmony between humans, machines, and nature in various well-balanced dimensions, amid both the perfection and conflicts of human actions on the ecosystem.
As this series is part of a process to examine and review the feasibility of waste management systems, it serves as a spark to question the province's biological control measures. This work is presented through metaphorical contradictions of symbols through visuals that reflect harmony while simultaneously embedding conflict, regarding the balance of ecosystems where humans are a crucial variable in both preserving and destroying nature.
In late 2017, I had the opportunity to travel with a news team from CityLife magazine to follow waste collection in various parts of Chiang Mai city, leading us to the endpoint of provincial waste management. The goal was to examine the efficiency of waste management in government agencies, with the objective of encouraging society to reduce daily plastic use and switch to recycled materials, as well as pushing for social initiatives that promote reuse and biodegradable containers in daily life.
From the photographer's perspective, the Landfill_2017 series reflects meanings deeper than just waste management issues, considering the relationship between humans, nature, and machines, cutting through conflicts to harmony within the overall ecosystem. It raises critical issues in the modern world about the coexistence and mutual support between living things and machines, reflected through composition, objects, and color tones of the landscape, leading to questions and issues aligned with post-reality life and the efficiency of government waste management.
In terms of composition, this series reflects the relationship and conflict between objects (machines) and life (people/nature) through foreground and background. The series may convey emotions of being caught in a dilemma, the perfect intersection of opposites, or the coexistence of beauty and filth.
