Exhibition Explores Forgotten Memories Through Inflatable Sculpture Art
An exhibition of inflatable sculptures titled "The Forgotten Things" explores overlooked memories and values through contemporary art, featuring works by established artists and youth winners from the Art for Art 2026 project at Bangkok's A
Balloon Art Company and the Visual Communication Design Department of Pathom Thani College opened an exhibition of three-dimensional inflatable sculptures titled "The Forgotten Things," inviting the public to reflect on memories, values, and important moments that may be overlooked in today's fast-paced world. The exhibition features contemporary inflatable art including the work "TimeLost" by Worasorawong, an Imagineering Artist, and creative works by young artists at Bangkok's Arts and Culture Centre.
An Art Talk Session titled "Remembering the Forgotten" featured three creators: Worasorawong Samatthaphan (Imagineering Artist and judge), Hiromi Kano (founder of KIGURUMI.BIZ and mascot expert from Japan), and Phuriphop Khotchitprompirom (Art Director at Central Pattana). The event also announced awards and displayed works by six youth teams selected from the Art for Art 2026 project.
Now in its fourth year, the exhibition provides a platform for young artists and students to transform their imagination from prototype models into large-scale inflatable sculptures displayed nationwide. Worasorawong explained that the Art for Art 2026 project opens a world of Imagineering that connects art, engineering, and human experience. He emphasized that judging and developing student work involves teaching them about the nature of inflatable art—air pressure, surface tension, seams, and structure—allowing them to scale up their ideas from small models to large installations at the art center, thereby breaking creative limitations.
Worasorawong's personal work, "TimeLost," explores what meaningful moments we may be leaving behind as we chase success and goals. The sculpture depicts figures looking upward toward achievement, while the base is filled with overlooked life elements—toys, childhood, love, trophies, and clocks representing overlapping time. The artist conveyed a message through this sculpture: do not let the pursuit of success cause you to overlook what truly matters—family, relationships, and your own identity. "TimeLost" is not about lost time, but about time we once had that we simply forgot to value.
The exhibition "The Forgotten Things" is open free to the public through August 30, 2026, at Bangkok's Arts and Culture Centre.
