For Truth, Poramit is creating an exclusive installation that looks at environmental truths. "Sea the Truth" uses "recycled material to create the atmosphere under the sea", he says. "There are two meanings from the word Sea- ocean or marine nature and See the image and understand. 'Sea the Truth' represents the imagination of the planet and ocean environment that we may see in the future. They are in danger from trash and plastic pollution. We should understand or realize how to protect our nature and keep the environment clean." The "Truth" Exhibition: Fifteen artists make us think about TRUTH using 2-dimensional, 3-dimensional, Installation, Conceptual, Movement, out of the box, back into the box and onto the floor creativity. What is Truth? How do we define or uncover Truth if any one story has many different sides? Is Truth where it ends or where it begins again, with a whole new set of questions?
