About us

Artist Statement

My work explores the quiet tension between vulnerability and protection, innocence and unease. Through recurring characters such as Kettlr and Akira Dragonfly, I construct narrative worlds where emotion is carried through stillness, gaze, and atmosphere rather than dramatic action.

I am interested in collective psychology — how individuals exist within groups, how softness coexists with survival, and how presence can feel both protective and oppressive. The characters function as emotional vessels, embodying fragility within structured environments that suggest hidden forces.

Each series is developed as a self-contained ecosystem. Rather than creating isolated images, I build evolving visual narratives that invite collectors into a long-term engagement with the work.

Art Series

Dark Poisoned Series

A psychological exploration of collective behavior and silent tension. The series examines protection, hierarchy, and the fragile balance between belonging and control.

Between Taiwan & Japan Series

A reflective body of work influenced by migration, cultural memory, and emotional displacement. These pieces explore atmosphere, distance, and identity through character-based storytelling.

In Between Spaces Series

This series explores undefined environments where Akira and Kettlr exist beyond specific geography or narrative. The spaces become psychological thresholds — suspended, quiet, and charged with unspoken tension.

Scenes of Stillness Series

Scenes of Stillness explores solitary presence within shifting environments. Through the recurring figure of Kettlr, the series examines psychological continuity, endurance, and quiet awareness amid changing spatial atmospheres. Stillness becomes not absence, but a form of sustained presence.

This series explores undefined environments where Akira and Kettlr exist beyond specific geography or narrative. The spaces become psychological thresholds — suspended, quiet, and charged with unspoken tension.

Akira Dragonfly Series

The Akira Dragonfly Series centers on Akira as a recurring psychological figure navigating inner and outer landscapes. He appears at times alone, at times beside Akari — a companion presence that suggests shared emotional space rather than reflection.

In selected works, Akira transforms into a winged form. The dragonfly becomes a symbol of fragility, awareness, and emotional evolution — a quiet shift between vulnerability and transcendence.

Artist Profile

I’m an illustration and digital art designer living in Bangkok, Thailand. I am the owner of Backpack Sir Sir, Akira Dragonfly, and Kettlr. My journey into painting began with the encouragement of my elementary school art teacher but did not continue through high school. It wasn’t until I pursued a Bachelor’s degree in Art and a career in graphic design, multimedia, and illustration that I returned to my passion for painting..
