FORGOTTEN HISTORY: When the dust settles | History Defined

When Sakarin Krue-On, artist and lecturer at the Faculty of Painting, Sculpture and Graphic Arts, Silpakorn University, was asked to create an artwork for the 2021 exhibition "Art For Air" at Chiang Mai City Arts & Cultural Center, he was struck with the idea of using snow globes.

"Snow globes are souvenirs or gifts that people give to others during the festive seasons or after travel to different places. They are reminders of important occasions and they are a romantic gift. When the organisation asked me, as a person who has lived in Chiang Mai for years, to create art pieces for 'Art For Air', I wanted to create snow globes," Sakarin explained.
