A youth baseball team is trying to take a group photo at a riverside park after winning a summer tournament. They are too excited to take the picture. One of the boys is quiet and reserved. While everyone falls down and starts to play with each other, the boy gets caught in the middle and is crushed. Unable to breathe, his consciousness fades away. On top of all that… A mysterious experience on a summer day unfolds for a 11-year-old boy. The main technique used in this work is rotoscope, which draws pictures from live-action video. The aim was to create a short animation with a peculiar summer feel.

The disconnection between younger generations of diaspora Chinese-Thai descendants and their ancestors, in terms of cultural heritage and familial relationships, is a result of the success of Thaification and modernization over the past several decades.
"安 /ān/" is an illustrated book that archives and shares the stories of the designer’s long-lost female relatives, whom she re-discovered through food and re-familiarized with through her drawing. The book explores how the cooking of women in her family has held the family together from generation to generation. Additionally, it represents her reflection upon gender roles, intergenerational dynamics, and cultural diversity within her Chinese-Thai family.
