A ritual of becoming.

My thesis explores Muay Thai as a way of approaching mind, body, and soul. I am drawn to the sport not simply as combat technique, but as a ritual of becoming. Muay Thai is a form of meditation in motion, a practice through which I explore tension, devotion, fear, and endurance.

Through repetition, impact, and painted gestures, I seek to give shape to inner experiences that resist conventional language. Inspired by Ushio Shinohara's physicality and Takashi Murakami's colored metaphysical figures, I use force, color, and form to explore struggle as both bodily and spiritual. Violence is not presented as spectacle, but as a way of confronting what lies beneath the surface and finding deeper wholeness.

I hope viewers encounter these works not as symbols of violence, but as reflections on negotiations between control and chaos. They are invitations to consider how struggle can become a path toward self-knowledge and transformation.
