Exhibition of the Glittering Beauty of Cicada Wings

#InsomniaInExhibition

"Belief Interweave" by Wutthikrai Siriphol

The shimmering beauty of beetle wings, which have been an element of jewelry and clothing in various cultures, is being presented in a new context through the exhibition "Belief Interweave" by Wutthikrai Siriphol, which explores and pushes the potential of this natural material further than ever before.

The beginning of the exhibition was a fascination with the deep colors and light dimensions of beetle wings. The artist noticed that beetle wings had been used to decorate clothing and accessories for centuries, but had never been used as a main element of textiles. This was the beginning of experimentation and research that led to the creation of an unprecedented textile medium.

The artist was inspired by the architecture and mural paintings in temples throughout Thailand, translating the colors, shapes, and atmospheres of these sacred places into his textile works. The content of the exhibition also explores the concept of "faith" through hand-weaving influenced by the Lanna Tung and the Scripture Cloth, which are symbols of belief and the passing on of knowledge in Thai society.

In this exhibition, beetle wings are used in the weaving process to create patterns and textures with luminous dimensions. The artist integrates beetle wings into the structure of textile fibers. Creating unique works that reflect the concept of connecting nature, culture and faith.

This exhibition not only presents the beauty of natural materials, but also shows new possibilities of Thai art and handicrafts. The artist uses ancient materials with a contemporary concept, conveying stories of belief through textile fibers in an unprecedented way, allowing viewers to experience the delicacy of hand-weaving art and the fusion of religious concepts, culture and contemporary design techniques.
