Wal Chirachaisakul believes people, especially current generation, are monetarily driven and mistake it for a remedy of their unhappiness in life. He very often in his art uses dark hue to symbolize how distanced those people are from enlightenment. The artists resorts to gothic and surrealistic approach which results in a tensed mood in order to convey his message better. Being brought up in a darker environment, the dark mood of his works seem somewhat relatable and familiar to Wal. Despite all the negatives, the artist wishes that his artworks are nothing more but to serve as a remembrance and awareness of this alarming phenomenon which is upon us.

 

The subjects metaphorically represent false hope to those who longed for eternal peace and tranquility. Hence, explains the endless chase for materialistic and worldly desire.
