Using light colors and abstracted forms, Thai artist Pinaree Sanpitak creates meditative, yet playful, imagery that addresses concepts related to spirituality, Buddhism, and womanhood. The oval contour of this mirror is based on the shape of a breast. For Sanpitak, breasts signify motherhood and nourishment and act as reminders of women’s diverse roles in the world today. The shape is also suggestive of a stupa, or pagoda, a Buddhist structure built to enshrine the relics of a spiritual male leader.
