Mai was based on a woman the artist met in a bar in Bangkok, where he played pool and she worked as a marker. On the night they met, he told her that one day she could search his name and eventually find a painted image of herself.

Suspended within darkness and silence, the figure appears less as a fixed identity and more as a moment of awareness before emotion fully settles into form.
