Safe Zone Safe Me No.1 (2024)
Sutee Lekpanyawat
Acrylic on Canvas
60X80
As the title suggests, this piece visualizes an internal ‘Safe Zone’ and the ‘desire to be protected.’ A figure with chrome-like metallic skin sits alone on a small, grassy island floating in the sky. The figure is holding a small white cat seemingly made of clouds, symbolizing pure comfort and emotion found within a cold, technological civilization. The surrounding cloud cats and a colorful flower indicate that this island is a solitary yet peaceful inner sanctuary, separated from reality. The artist dreamily depicts the psychological safety an individual seeks amidst the isolation of modern society.
