A Arte

The mural is located near the Potharam Market, a famous spot in Ratchaburi, and its theme is focused on elements deeply rooted to the province. The artists have chosen different colors and patterns to reflect the power of culture and diversity present in the Thai way of life.

When asked about the meaning of the art, Pearypie said, "it contains a story of the roots of our culture and the different abilities of individuals. Each one has its own role on this planet.”

The word in the art is what locals from Ratchaburi call the province and, because they are the only ones to use this word, it’s something special and unique for Thai people. "I want people to feel that they are part of this word in my work, and the work is meant to not alienate anyone in the community", added Gong.

Converse believes in using creativity and self-expression to drive progress and has an opportunity to support local creative communities across the world, sharing the stories of how they are living out a restless commitment to Create Next.
