PA-SOM

Chimapha Bhrasartsuwan

Nowadays, everything has changed to digital, but I believe block printing has its charm, and I don't want it to disappear with time. Therefore, I combined it with my favorite aspect of Thai identity and chose to make Thai desserts. I wanted to promote Thai culture through these desserts, showcasing their beauty, meticulous craftsmanship, and deliciousness to the world.

PA-SOM

My project is named "Pa-som," a Thai word that means "mix" or "combine." The name reflects the essence of the project: blending traditional block printing techniques with modern digital printing.

Creative process

- Design pattern
- Laser wood/lino cut
- Start experimenting with block printing/lino techniques.
- Digital printing on fabric

I divide it into 3 types.


- The first type is in the category of auspicious Thai desserts.
- The second type is a dessert made from coconut milk.
- The third type is a dessert made from fruit as an ingredient.
- The last type is a collection of all types of Thai desserts.

The highlight of Pa-Som is making handicrafts in a digital format while still preserving their unique characteristics.

With this project, I sincerely hope to actively contribute to the development of Thailand's tourism industry and culture.
