Bangkok, b. unknown

Imhathai Suwatthanasilp is an internationally known artist, in particular for her use of human hair as the main material to create her artworks. She relates hair to the human experience through works that are tactile and emotive, posing existential questions to the audience. As such, Imhathai’s works explore notions of gender equality, life, death, violence, morality, and spiritual and beliefs systems especially in relation to Thai society. Responding to ongoing social concerns, Imhathai’s recent works expand to environmental issues that emphasise our individual participation and responsibility towards how we care for the nature surrounding us.
