The starting point of this sculpture is a species of gecko only found in Phuket, characterised by its distinct markings and curved toes. The public sculpture shows a transformation between a bent-toed gecko and a public bench. The me-tamorphoses between animate and inanimate object is a transition between categories, generating hybrid stages that blur boundaries between taxonomies.

This metal sculpture reflects the condition of the world in an era of transformation, with the “globe” at its center symbolizing humanity’s shared burden of both crisis and hope. The interconnected stainless-steel structure represents the bond between humans and the Earth, while perforated metal plates reveal “stories” of Phuket through its history, culture, and spiritual essence. The silver tone recalls the island’s tin heritage, and the sail-like form within the work evokes a journey that deeply and contemporarily connects the wider world with the cultural roots of this port city.

“Dhewina ” A sculpture embodying the harmony between nature and human spirit. Depicting a serene woman infused with the graceful essence of the lionfish, it reflects beauty that is both gentle and powerful— like the sea of Phuket, the source of life and the soul of its people.
