"Ronald is not praying"

A transformative portrait of the iconic fast-food clown Ronald McDonald performing a gesture resembling the traditional Thai greeting, constructed from fragments of credit and debit cards against tropical greenery. The work recontextualizes a commercial figure to comment on global consumer culture while celebrating the resilience of Thai culture in its ability to appropriate, integrate, and reinterpret foreign symbols on its own terms—a dynamic visible in everyday life and popular culture in Bangkok.
