Korakrit Arunanondchai — My trip to the White Temple #9
Korakrit Arunanondchai

My trip to the White Temple #9

A digitally printed canvas layered with denim fabric and shimmering foil stamping, this work by Korakrit Arunanondchai merges the sacred and the synthetic through its collision of materials. The piece draws on the artist's ongoing exploration of Thai cultural identity and globalization, referencing the ornate Wat Rong Khun—known as the White Temple—as a site where tradition and spectacle converge. The use of denim, a recurring motif in Arunanondchai's practice, functions as a second skin, weaving personal mythology and consumer culture into the fabric of spiritual imagery.
