The Morning Chat Serie transforms reclaimed metal sheets — salvaged from the artist’s rural village in Thailand — into a record of communal life. Wittaya Pised chooses these weathered surfaces for their history: dents, rust and patina become an archive of use, holding the memory of place even before paint is applied. The metal’s ridges and uneven skin are not obstacles but collaborators; their textures catch and scatter light, giving the painted birds a restless, shimmering stage.

The flock of birds is a gentle metaphor for the village’s daily ritual: a steady coming and going toward the central meeting place, brief pauses to exchange news, and the quiet pleasure of neighbours sharing a morning chat. Their movement across the corrugated plane suggests motion and routine, while moments of stillness in the composition invite viewers into the hush between words. The green tones evoke the early light and surrounding foliage — calm, renewing, quietly alive.

By marrying industrial material with intimate subject matter, Pised asks us to reconsider value and attention: how ordinary surfaces and small social acts together form the texture of communal life. Visitors are invited to lean closer, to feel the pull between surface and story, and to imagine the conversations that continue long after the paint has dried.
