Sattapon draws inspiration from everyday life and her experiences as a member of an ethnic minority in Thailand. Her powerful installations and performances shine a light on social structures that are often hidden from view. At Go for Kogei, Sattapon exhibits the type of scaffolding used at construction sites together with a bag containing a family’s possessions after they were forced to leave their home. The work represents those who have lost their homes and livelihoods to natural disasters, disease, war, or economic upheaval. It simultaneously suggests that no one is immune from such a fate. Radiating color and light, the bag becomes a provisional source of strength until a new life can be built elsewhere.
