In the Womanly Bodies series, Pinaree Sanpitak constructs a series of quiet yet monumental forms that evoke the body through touch, texture, and abstraction. Composed of layered mawata—hand-stretched silk cocoons—each composition presents a distinct bodily presence, rising against a luminous silvery background. The silk, with its fibrous irregularity and soft tonal shifts, registers the passage of the hand and the memory of flesh, while the metallic ground catches light subtly, enhancing the interplay between surface and depth, opacity and reflection. Though the forms suggest torsos or vessels, they resist strict figuration, instead offering the body as a site of transformation, vulnerability, and quiet resilience. Across the series, Sanpitak emphasizes variation within repetition, holding space for the multiplicity of “womanly” embodiment—both grounded and ethereal, seen and sensed.
