This piece is from Jiab Prachakul's 'Seven Blouses Series', in which each work depicts a different element of the artist's personality. In Heart Headed, Jiab addresses the challenges she feels as a female artist - identifying as so in her own right but also conflicting with the expectations of Thai society, from which the artist originates.
Prachakul painted this work in a particularly unique medium. Working with oil on transfer paper allowed the artist to produce a specific sheen that creates a visual play on the depth of emotion perceived by the viewer.
