Safe Zone Safe Me No.2 (2024)

‘Safe Zone Safe Me No.2’ by artist Sutee Lekpanyawat captures the modern desire for solace and a sanctuary from loneliness within a dreamy, surreal landscape. A silver, robot-like figure lies resting on a large white cloud floating in a blue sky. The robot appears to be taking a comfortable rest with closed eyes; its reflective texture seems to symbolize the isolated modern self. Surrounding it, small white cats play, some on the cloud and others floating in the sky. The cats represent intimate companionship, while the floating cloud-island symbolizes a Safe Zone entirely separated from the chaos of the world. A small, separate cloud with colorful flowers suggests that this peaceful moment is a hope that blossoms from within. The work is a metaphor for the modern desire to find genuine peace and security in perfect isolation.
