From my journey to Lampang province, the hometown of my mother, I have noticed that there were many “Sri Lanna Lanterns” in most households in Kaad Kong Tah for decoration. At this point, this ignites my passion for lantern and its beauty of history.
After my research and survey, I've learnt more about the process of creating individual Lanterns. I could get to see the structure of how it's being built as well as Lanna Hammering which is their symbolic character. Art Handicrafts of Lanna Hammering is an art that requires lots of delicacy. Moreover, I have got an opportunity to learn and do it myself which leads me to being even more interested.
Therefore, I have eventually pursued my passion to create a new silhouette that looks new and unique, with the mixture of modern fashion and Lanna traditional patterns.
