This was one of the first paintings I ever created. I simply painted whatever came to mind without thinking too much about it. I didn't really have a concept or a specific idea behind it—I just kept painting.

When I finished, I thought it looked quite nice.

Later, Veerapong became curious about why I had ordered custom wooden panels, so I showed him this painting. After looking at it, he said, "Yeah, it looks like the kind of artwork you might see hanging in a hotel."

Hearing that made me realize something.

I thought to myself, I don't want to paint pictures like this anymore. Not because the painting was bad, but because it felt too ordinary. I wanted my work to have a story, a deeper meaning, or something more for people to discover when they looked at it.

From that point on, I started searching for ways to put more of myself and my experiences into my art.
