Salaya Sound Volume III : Life-(less) / Noise-(less) a photography exhibition by Poomrapee Japakasetr 
Life-(less) / Noise-(less): Exploring the Individuality Amid the Mundane 

Welcome to "Life-(less) / Noise-(less)," a black-and-white journey into the beauty of individuality of the trees that grace the landscape of Salaya, Thailand. In this exhibition, I invite you to explore the dichotomy of life and absence, of noise and silence, as captured through the lens of monochrome photography. Each photograph tells a story about each tree's individuation, reecting and highlighting the existence of individualism amid the mundane. 

In a world often overshadowed by uniformity, these photographs aim to enunciate the unique character and presence of each tree, capturing moments of quiet introspection amidst the bustling landscape of Salaya. The absence of color draws us to inspect the subtle nuances and intricate details that distinguish one tree from another, revealing the essence of their individuality. As you wander through this gallery of 1:1 monochromic pieces, take a moment to contemplate the dichotomy of life and absence, uniqueness and uniformity that permeates each image. 

Welcome to Life-(less) / Noise-(less), where every tree has a tale to tell.
