“Out of the Blue !
Tharinee "Palm" Ratanasatien, 2024
Out of the Blue! brings the sky directly to the community with a mobile, interactive art installation designed to blend seamlessly with the familiar environment of the Nang Loeng community. Inspired by the everyday food cart, this mobile cart reflects local culture and the dynamic nature of the neighborhood. The mirrors on all sides and bottom of the cart create a surreal, infinite sky when viewed from the peep hole at the top. This illusion of an endless sky serves as a metaphor for boundless reflection and introspection, offering a meditative escape from the bustling surroundings. By inviting participants to write their thoughts and emotions on the cart’s whiteboard surface, this artwork also fosters a sense of shared mindfulness, allowing the community to collectively explore, release, and transform their inner reflections.
