Incomplete Dream (Mitake) (2017)
In 2015, Chulayarnnon Siriphol staged his Behind the Painting exhibition at the Art Centre, Silpakorn University. As part of the exhibition, a watercolor painting entitled Incomplete Dream which depicted Nopphon’s dream of kissing Khunying Kirati was presented in the form of jigsaw puzzle, allowing visitors to complete the puzzle which in turn also completes Nopphon’s dream. In a similar approach, for this Museum Of Kirati exhibition, Siriphol decides to turn the watercolor painting Mitake into memorabilia—the Incomplete Dream (Mitake) Limited Edition box. The set contains a jigsaw puzzle of the iconic Mitake watercolor painting which inspires the novel’s title. Mitake serves as the scene where the love between the two protagonists begins, as described by Khunying Kirati on giving Nopphon this painting, “You fell in love there and your love died there. But for someone else, love still flourishes in a wasted body.”
