Transmission, 2024
Transmission diverges from Mook's typically vibrant palette, embracing a monochromatic scheme that underscores the often-overlooked
processes underpinning creative endeavours. Through meticulous craftsmanship, Mook transforms mundane materials into a striking visual narrative, celebrating the unseen yet vital pathways of
communication and energy transmission.

Intricately woven from repurposed office papers, Transmission captures the essence of information and energy flow. The hand-spun paper yarn reflects a commitment to sustainable materials, while the central motif, a dense black tangle, evokes the ubiquitous power lines and telephone wires that lace the streets of Bangkok. This chaotic web of connections, despite its disorder, somehow effectively facilitates communication and energy distribution in our urban landscape.
Through this piece, Mook serves as a conduit for diverse ideas,
demonstrating that creativity extends beyond vibrant hues and
expressive forms. This artwork invites viewers to recognise the beauty in the everyday and appreciate the patience and determination required to weave together the threads of modern work and life. It reflects on how we connect, communicate, and share energy—both literally and figuratively—highlighting the intricate balance between function and creativity in our daily interactions.
