Heartwarming (2024)

‘Heartwarming’ by artist Somporn Phromutai captures the pure happiness of a deeply affectionate moment within a circular frame, true to its title. The artwork depicts a boy and a girl leaning gently into each other, with their small, white robot friend nestled between them. Both the boy and the girl have their eyes closed in a gentle smile, and the robot, wearing a red hat, shares a peaceful expression. Their embrace illustrates a deep bond that transcends gender, species, or even the form of existence. The circular composition emphasizes that the world they share is a perfect microcosm, isolated from external noise, conveying a feeling of stability and profound peace to the viewer.
