Balance

“Balance” explores the intersection of folklore, symbolism, and the urgent need for harmony between humanity and the natural world. Inspired by Thai culture, the pink elephant emerges as a central figure in this work, not just as a whimsical or mythical creature, but as a deeply rooted symbol of luck, prosperity, and spiritual protection. In Thai tradition, the appearance of a pink elephant is believed to herald positive change, blessings, and abundance. It is both revered and celebrated, often enshrined in temples as a beacon of good fortune.

By incorporating this culturally significant symbol, the mural invites viewers into a space of reflection and hope. Yet, beneath its light-hearted surface lies a deeper narrative, one that speaks to the fragile balance in our ecosystems. Even the smallest disruption can set off a chain of imbalance, underscoring the urgent need for coexistence and care.

This work is ultimately a call to mindfulness, a reminder that the prosperity symbolised by the pink elephant can only be fully realised when balance is respected. In an age of environmental tension and increasing human impact, “Balance” becomes both a cultural homage and a visual manifesto for a more harmonious world.
