Artist statement
In this artwork, I Shoot What I See, Komkrit’s playful ethic is evident. The sculpture seems to mimic a creature with eight legs, like a spider, the bunch of eyes juxtaposed on the red mass head. It seems apparent that the artist is trying to create a hybrid of form and narratives; organic versus geometric, grotesque versus cute. Dig deeper, at one hand this sculpture represents the ever-presents of the current military government spying on its people, the eyes in the sky conspiracy theory - to oppress democracy, the freedom of speech and the people. On the other hand, this sculpture represents the populace's resistance, the age and power of the social media, the change the citizens want in freedom and liberty – a new socio-political fabric.
