The work reimagines the myth of the Makkalipol, the fruit-women of the Himaphan forest. Traditionally depicted in Thai temple murals at their eroticized peak—created to distract ascetics and rendered ready for harvest—they appear only after being reduced to a sexual commodity.
I return to the moment before that finality. Tracing their seven-day formation from seed to sentient being, the series reclaims the humanity erased by patriarchal narrative. These prints follow bodies in progress, shaped by the melancholy of being born as a pre-destined object—simply women trying to exist.
