My daughter
named her last school artwork after my name “Parichat”
My daughter
is studying last year VWO (Voorbereid
Wettenschappelijk Onderwijs – highschool / pre-university education) at Bernadius College which is one
of the very traditional schools of Heerlen town and around.
As this year is marked “the year of mines 2015 (M2015)” (Heerlen was once a centre for the coal mining industry in the Netherlands in the late 19th century) Heerlen is holding the exhibition to reflex its history and to show how the mines has been influenced the region as well as how it can impact the future developement. The Exhibition is held at the “GlasPaleis” in the center of town the whole year of 2015, whereas the students’artworks will be displayed only for few first weeks of the opening of the event.
Bernadinus college is joining the project by picking some outstanding artworks of last year students, with theme “the mines” to display at the exhibition hall. My daughter’s was one of those arts selected.
I had helped my daughter transport her artwork from
school to the hall before the exhibition took place. During the conversation
while driving, I just learned that she named her work after my name...it’s
“Parichat” (I’m a very proud mom)
And she described her work under its tittle as the
following.
“I represent this piece of work as myself and my
background. As my mom is Thai, I’ve been thus grown up amidst two cultures
(Thai-Dutch). I would like to take this mixture to creat a piece of arts by
applying a “fish” as my delegate.
The fish opens the mouth spitting pieces of glass and
fire upwards the ceiling,letting what’s inside out. I have herewith performed a
“Wow effect” by burning firework at the first show.
It goes without saying,my work is showing conflict
between the cold of the glass and the heat of the fire, which represents the
collision of two different cultures.
