“𝙒𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙀𝙭𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚𝙨 (𝘿𝙝𝙖𝙢𝙢𝙖 𝙌𝙪𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣) # 2” (2021) — In this continuation, the artist introduces a powerful symbol: “Hands” emerging from the water amidst turbulent, dreamlike waves. The composition includes a red petal with a flame and a bird with a head that is a hand reaching for it. This may represent the act of pleading, clinging, or the struggle to rise above the ocean of desire and the cycle of rebirth. The static yet vibrant atmosphere serves as a poignant reminder to perceive the truths hidden beneath the surface of a madly spinning world.

Pradit’s “𝙒𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙀𝙭𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚𝙨” series is not merely about dreams, but the reassembling of “shards of reality” to allow viewers to pause and explore the “Dhamma puzzles” that arise and fade within our minds at every moment.
