This project merges spiritual architecture, wellness culture, and memory into a single sculptural form: a reimagined Thai spirit house. This work continues a thread from an earlier series influenced by Italo Calvino’s Invisible Cities, where places are as much imagined as they are experienced, inseparable from metaphor and memory. In this project, Bangkok becomes such a city - both map and mirage, intimate and elusive.
