Promises are vessels brimming with dreamy images encapsulating truth, life, and love. Love, especially, nurtures memories that bloom beautifully. Yet, ultimate reality unfolds in a perpetual dance of movement and change. Love, a distinct facet of truth, transcends the boundaries of reason and logic. It stands as a potent fragment, allowing humanity to grasp the significance of both existence and departure.

In the ethereal tapestry of existence, love stands as a timeless masterpiece, its beauty and grandeur reflected endlessly like a pair of majestic mirrors. Yet, when one mirror is shattered, the once-harmonious reflections blur into elusive memories; what lingers is a promise, a tender embrace that envelops us like a garment waiting to be worn.

A Million Little Odd Things, the Last Promise, and One Big Picture by Toi Ungkavatanapong and Piyaluk Benjadol poignantly present the echoes of dreamy memory and the last promise – a pledge made to the love of his life. What appears in this exhibition is the intertwining of his last promise into tangible memories that transition into the present. The last promise intertwines with various odd things and one big picture, transcending the mere breath of departure.

The exhibition also features the revival of Nuts society, an art activity that invites people to engage in the creation of social awareness. It made its debut in the art world in 1998, in which Toi and Piyaluck had catch the attention of the art community through various continuing and interesting activities. This time, artists from diverse disciplines are invited to showcase and sell their creations in Quality 1st, 2nd hand (Art), and swap market within the exhibition space to democratise access to art.
