The story behind

Water hyacinth grows wild in the estuaries of Thailand. It is picked and then dried in the sun, before its stems are woven into wicker objects. For Masan et Masan (the woven horse), illustrator Terawat Teankaprasith observed these ancestral processes, then drew these two heads facing one another, like figurines in a children's game. In the center of this triangle adaptation, the two horses almost form a ring, drawing the eye into their graphic and hypnotic circle.
