00:00Take a deep breath and connect with the nature. Today I'm not at any open-air art museum or

00:05sculpture parks. I'm at Khao Yai Art Forest and today we are going to explore some arts

00:11in this beautiful landscape. Let's see what they got to offer. Spanning 225 rye, Khao Yai Art Forest

00:18is more than just a forest. It's a space for reforestation, healing, and discovering nature's

00:23resilience. It invites us to reconnect with the environment we have long taken for granted.

00:29At the heart of this innovative concept is Marisa Jiarawanon, the visionary behind the

00:34Art Forest. Her vision was simple, to bring art to life in nature, creating a space where both

00:40local and international artists can transcend boundaries and express creativity freely.

00:45So Khao Yai Art Forest actually was creating one purpose. I would like to put Thailand on the

00:53geopolitical map of contemporary art. Here, art is not confined to walls. It thrives within nature.

01:00Highlights include Fujiko Nagaya's Fogg landscape, hashtag 48435, blending fog with the natural

01:07environment to symbolize harmony between art, science, and nature. Louis Bourgeois' iconic sculpture,

01:14Momong, a giant spider representing motherhood, and Richard Long's Matrix Circle, which invites us to

01:20reflect on the endless cycle of life. Other notable works include Francisco Arena's God,

01:26A Hidden Message, Curved in Stone, Arayara Jamrensuk's Two Planets, exploring the relationship between

01:32local people and western art, and Ubasa's pilgrimage to eternity, a project blending tradition with nature.

01:40So whether you want to heal your soul with the nature, or you want to indulge in the art gallery,

01:45like open air, Khao Yai Art Forest have got you covered. In this Tanque Forest, we find peace.

01:52Take a moment to step away from the rush of the world, and let Khao Yai Art Forest restore your spirit.
