한국과 태국의 사진작가들이 함께 참여하는 한-태 사진교류전 ‘팝타이사진’에 참여작가로 함께하게 되어 매우 기쁩니다.
이번 전시는 한국과 태국의 사진 문화를 교류하고, 양국의 사진 작가들이 협업할 수 있는 뜻깊은 자리입니다. 특히, 한국과 태국의 사진 작가들이 직접 만나서 소통할 수 있다는 점이 이번 전시의 가장 큰 장점이라고 생각합니다.
이번 전시를 통해 한국과 태국의 사진 작가들이 서로의 문화를 이해하고, 새로운 시각을 얻을 수 있는 기회가 되기를 바랍니다. 또한, 이번 전시를 계기로 양국 사진에 대한 관심이 더욱 높아지기를 바랍니다.
감사합니다.

ผมรู้สึกยินดีเป็นอย่างยิ่งที่ได้เข้าร่วมเป็นศิลปินในนิทรรศการแลกเปลี่ยนภาพถ่าย
ระหว่างเกาหลีและไทย “PhapthaySajin”
นิทรรศการนี้เป็นโอกาสอันสำคัญในการแลกเปลี่ยนวัฒนธรรมการถ่ายภาพของเกาหลีและไทย และความร่วมมือระหว่างช่างภาพจากทั้งสองประเทศ โดยเฉพาะอย่างยิ่ง ผมคิดว่าจุดเด่นที่สุดของนิทรรศการนี้คือช่างภาพจากเกาหลีและไทยสามารถพบปะและสื่อสารกันแบบตัวต่อตัวได้
ผมหวังว่านิทรรศการนี้จะเปิดโอกาสให้ช่างภาพชาวเกาหลีและชาวไทยได้เข้าใจวัฒนธรรมของกันและกันและได้รับมุมมองใหม่ๆ อีกทั้งความสนใจในการถ่ายภาพจากทั้งสองประเทศจะเพิ่มขึ้นอีกผ่านนิทรรศการนี้
ขอบคุณครับ
