Suspended from the ceiling, almost touching the ground, the work becomes not only a “flag” but also a “stone inscription of struggle” and a “monument of liberty,” confronting authoritarian power.
On a blazing red ground — the color of “the nation” in the Thai tricolor flag, symbolizing the people — three vertical spectrum-like bars rise, recalling the three-finger salute. They declare freedom, diversity, and equality, embracing all who belong to the nation across ethnicity, class, gender, generation, and belief.
Yet this monumental work is not one-sided. Painted on both surfaces like “parallel symbols” of struggle, the reverse presents a black field with three red bars — evoking the three-finger gesture from The Hunger Games, reimagined in real-world protests as a global emblem of resistance against dictatorship and the fight for democracy.
