This project was inspired by “Spirit Houses” in Myanmar and Thailand which were outdoor shrines built around Bodhi Tree. In Myanmar, Bodhi Trees are believed to be sacred dwellings of spirits or ghost and are not allowed to be cut. People sometimes place discarded shrines, statues of deities of various spiritual beliefs around the tree and the spirit shrine. At times, these trees become a site of both spiritual care and also urban abandonment. Inspired by these urban sites, which show traces of Animism and Buddhism, or Hinduism,  I try to imagine and materialize the “ghost” that lives in these houses or trees. I casted my hand and my foot with clay in various configuration where they were transforming into tree-like beings.  I fired these forms in saggar-firing techinque where combustible material such as saw dust were placed in custom built ceramic brick walls or boxes before tightly sealing them. The forms were then fired to high temperature to allow carbon to be absorbed into the core of the clay to create surfaces that show imprint of trauma by the fire.  During the installation, I added melted and sculpted glass parts to convey the idea of loss of the body and transition to the spirit realm.  The work was installed in conversation with the history of the Bangkok Kunsthalle building which had been burned down in a fire accident. The ashened and carbonized surfaces of the work echoes the skin of the building creating a poetic dialogue between the two.
