SYNOPSIS

 

8,241.46 miles is the distance from my house in Samut Prakarn, Thailand to my dorm at CalArts (California Institute of the Arts) in Valencia, California, USA. This work is made I was studying for my MFA in the US, reminiscing the fading memories of a long journey from one's homeland. Night time in America is morning time in Thailand. Today is yesterday at the other side of the world.
