Tiger (2025)

‘Tiger’ by artist Saengrawee Klangmanee portrays a portrait of the inner world where strength and fragility coexist, rendered in fantastical colors. The artwork features a girl with blue skin wearing a fierce tiger hat and cradling a small tiger doll. The eyes of the hat are replaced by gold coins, seemingly symbolizing the power, courage, or material value that the girl must outwardly seek or conceal. The girl is surrounded by pink and orange Anthurium flowers, adding an exotic and dreamy atmosphere. The strong protective instinct symbolized by the tiger contrasts sharply with the vulnerability and delicacy suggested by the girl’s blue skin and plaintive expression. This work elegantly metaphorizes the modern psychological state of striving to protect the most fragile part of oneself with the strongest exterior.
