The Charoen AArt presents IMPERMANENCE, a solo exhibition by Thai photographer Bryce Watanasoponwong. Featuring 18 mixed-media works, the exhibition opens on 12 October 2025 and reflects on memory, fragility, and the transformations of life.
At the heart of IMPERMANENCE lies a question: when vivid memories gradually fade and fragment, what remains? How can meaning endure amid life’s constant shifts? The works draw inspiration from Buddhist thought and the writings of Japanese philosopher Daisaku Ikeda, emphasising the challenge of creating value in the present despite life’s impermanence.
Each piece begins with a photograph, layered with abstractions created through experiments with light, kaleidoscope lenses, slide film, and cross-processing. Colours overlap into soft strata, while a white frame marks the threshold between lived experience and memory. Across these surfaces, miniature 3D-printed figures appear in postures of standing, sitting, raising an arm, or leaning. They first gather in large numbers before gradually reducing until only one remains, a metaphor for memory’s transition from clarity to faintness.
“These works reflect how memory shifts and dissolves over time. What was once complete and luminous scatters into fragments. I do not see this as a loss, but as a transformation, an invitation to find meaning that persists even as details fade,” says Bryce Watanasoponwong.
The exhibition is not about endings but about embracing change. IMPERMANENCE is both a remembrance and an acceptance of transformation, inviting viewers to pause, reflect on what has passed, and recognise the value of what endures.
