When Aroonkamol Thongmorn was a student at the Faculty of Painting, Sculpture and Graphic Arts, Silpakorn University, she spent her time during summer break working at an auto parts manufacturer to earn money towards the purchase of a new mobile phone. It was the first time she'd seen auto parts in that context, and she was impressed with their unusual shapes and forms. The experience inspired her to create artworks for her master's degree thesis.
