The Circle of Rice by Nopnara Saowaphakpong

"The Human Everest Exhibition"

2nd floor, La Luna Gallery

18 September to 30 October 2025

Nopnara Saowapakpong explores the context of 'Womanhood' through installation art that incorporates rice grains as a central creative element. Audiences are invited to witness the symbolic connection between femininity and the acts of giving life and nurturing. 

Rice, the seed of human sustenance, becomes a metaphor for the body and soul of the woman as giver. The farmer does more than sow seeds into the soil; they pass down a culture of compassion, care, and love, carried through the rhythms of the turning seasons.

In traditional cultures, women are not only the producers of life in a physical sense, but also custodians of knowledge and guardians of the earth’s delicate balance. They sustain this balance by engaging with resources in a spirit of respect and by attuning themselves to the voice of nature. In this light, the rice grain transcends its role as mere sustenance. It becomes a symbol of equilibrium between life and the fragile cycles of the environment, a quiet, enduring force that upholds the interconnectedness of all beings.

In this series, the artist combines rice grains with diverse materials such as fibers, metals, and natural elements to construct a dialogue between past, present, and future. Though these materials differ in physical form, they are seamlessly woven together, emphasizing the woman’s role as a bridge between the traditional and the modern, holding space for both worlds to coexist.
