Goodwill ambassador of gay art

For example, Jes Fan's Visible Woman installation uses PPE pipes to connect a number of sculptures resembling human organs, symbolizing gender fluidity. Xiyadie's delicate papercut art depicts his life before and after coming out to his wife and children.

"In a sense, we all are minorities in this world. Spectrosynthesis presents a spectrum of works and mediums. So whoever walks into our show would find something they can relate to and leave with a sense of compassion for all minorities, especially the LGBTQ+ community," says Sun.

Keen to represent all the colors in the spectrum in his exhibitions, Sun understands his limits. In Thailand alone, for instance, there are 18 different gender identifications.

"Our ethos is not to explore how many identities are out there, but to foster a sense of inclusion in our visitors through tackling the issues we all face," says Sun, hoping his efforts will help "reduce the discrimination against the LGBTQ+ community so they can live a normal, visible life."

"Change doesn't come overnight," he adds. "I always believe that if we can take one step forward, we can slowly change the world. Art is only one way we can do this."
