Autobiographical Images series is a psychedelic diary using images as symbols and metaphors. The innovative use of a printing technology combined with the photographic medium resulted in works that challenged the existing use of photography in Thailand. The autobiographical approach was also quite rare during the period when Thai artists often felt compelled to deal with the themes of nationalism or Thai-ness.
