The Workshop

Excessive amount of waste created by our pace of daily life, spending seconds to made instant decisions on the most efficient way possible, will certainly return to affect us in the coming decades. Realising roots of problems and preventing them from happening is one thing but dealing with the waste that has been already produced is also necessary. By contrast, flowers and plants, with their temporal quality, are materials to work in slow speed – hours or even days. It will be a time-consuming and self-reflecting project to create a piece.

This workshop will be about slowing down our own passage of time by using locally-grown flowers and plants as mediums, together with upcycled waste. We would collectively create parts of ephemeral installation in a predefined space, contrastively question our utilisation of time and space.

PHKA Studio Thailand

PHKA was founded in 2013 by Vissata Poy Duangwongsri and Tul Chompaisal to introduce the anti-disciplinary design firm expertising in floral utilisation. With background in art and architecture being fundamental agendas of PHKA, we believe that floral design are in between site-specific installation and floristry, which also significantly engages with culture and society.
