Description
-
This mixed media artwork consists of a concrete poem inscribed on a canvas board using a felt-tip pen. Here, the artist uses the word for "the people" (ประชาชน) as a recurring visual motif, forming, in block letters, the numeral "14"— an allusion to the massacre of protestors near Ratchadamnoen Avenue on 14 October 1973. The concrete poem is inscribed on a canvas board which is affixed to a larger board plastered over with printed poems. Most of the poems belong to the collection titled "Images from the Past" (ภาพพจน์ที่ผ่านมา).
