Orawan Arunrak
Clock ( 0 ), 2023

Arunrak’s work unfolds as a series of vignettes—each a chapter in a larger story of resilience and introspection. (…) [For her exhibition The 4 Foundations] Arunrak transforms the gallery into a living, breathing entity where the ambient sounds of life—church bells, the cadence of a washing machine, and the unceasing undertones of a bustling city—merge with the visual stimuli. (…) The repeated motif of clocks around the space symbolizes its omnipresence in our lives and its synchronization with our personal and architectural spaces. In such a recontextualization of the everyday object, the clocks invite consideration of time’s flow and memory’s role in distinguishing and counting moments. (…)
