In 2011, she participated in Street Art Project, 1st ‘Tid Silp Bon Ratchaburi’ exhibition or ‘Art-o-holic in Ratchaburi’, Ratchaburi province, as co-initiater with 12 high school friends. It affected her decision to study in (B.A.) Art History Major.

Works in residency
Feedback:
1. Action practice for thinking to find the way to fix problems. It is a good way to bring many people who have different space, experience come to explain and sharing information together. Bamboo Curtain is a great platform to run or develop the project or organization.
2.During residency, I found the awareness issue and realized that it is important to individual and social development. I learnt some environment topic during the workshop and they let us have the awareness to the environment situation and let us have the thinking to find the process to fix the problem with sustainable idea.
3.From the project by Wu Shu-lun as I visited, I realized that it began from the awareness in art, cultural and environmental. And also at Toucheng there are projects that consider the local people go to work out at their own hometown. That is because it is difficult to find job in hometown then there are association or group that create the activities in community by art , it is alternative activities to impact local awareness between life and space.
