I always see the number 3 as a triangle, and when I received the assign- the 3 of hearts- was pretty obvious to me make a kind of love triangle, and a love triangle is always a little conflictive and sometimes bizarre. I don’t know why I use here just masculine characters, but definitely they are ambiguous, very different between them and slightly aggressive, maybe complicated in this situation... because three’s a crowd.

Four ghosts each represent a Spade with fourth one enlightening and leading the way.

Well, I collect tarot decks, so the idea of my card came from the tarot. The 6 of spades is a card to represent transition, changings, knowing a new world, ideas, feelings and elsewhere. Basically I reinterpreted this ideas.

I have based my artwork on 6 number layout, I have choose to used only red and black colours, it’s a combo I used in my personal works actually who match perfect with the classic playing cards tones.

My brief is to develop art piece from “Nine Spade”. What come in my mind the first thing is “Cat”. In Thailand, we believe that cat is one of the animal that has the longest life some says cat has nine life. Therefore, this is what inspired me to create this art. I also use illusion technique to create a picture of cat in two character so the audience could look at my work from both side.

I love to analyze the forms of a subject as a sculptor. I usually work with lines and strokes to create my illustrations. For the specific project I’ve decided to make a self portrait. Usually the card figures are static and serious, so I thought it would be a great idea to make a sarcastic pose, to illustrate the jack diamond.

My card was the queen of clubs. I just wanted to draw a woman who would be like a timeless queen in a forgotten city.
