fantasy dream of the traveler in the wonderful land

In my art work I use my naked body to gain the audience’s attention, making

them stop and engage with my story about Thai women and British social life.

I am using my body as an object, and this has three distinct meanings.

Firstly, to reclaim the stereotype of the Thai women, often seen as sexually available,

little more than a prostitute. This is often represented by jokes and casual comments

about Thai women  as objects of commercial exchange.
