Tramps

Abstract

This thesis was created from what I encountered with homeless people and stray cats while traveling by bus to the university. It made me feel sympathy and think that in this area, which Bangkokians call "Phra Nakhon side", there are many homeless people and stray cats living there. Personally, I think that homeless people and stray cats have a similar status, without shelter, food, and sleep. The government does not provide enough assistance. This shows the influence of the environment and inequality in today's society. From the past until now, this problem has been seen a lot. It may be because the government has neglected to solve the problem and turned to develop other areas, such as beautiful places, prosperity in big cities. This inspired me to create this piece of work. The purpose is to reflect the problem of homeless people and stray cats as if they have no identity through my perspective. In terms of the problem of long-standing inequality in society, it is conveyed through a virtual format by collecting various data, combining the shapes of homeless people and stray cats with beautiful tourist attractions, and arranging elements to imitate the virtual images from my perspective that I have encountered. The work was created through Planographic Printing process (Lithograph) by drawing lines with wax material on an Aluminum plate through overlapping of colors to create a realistic dimension, light and shadow, is a 2D printed art work on paper.
