We came across the work of Jorm Sangsorn through an editorial lens. And their work fits that mold well, with concepts that can nicely set up an essay about mental health, privacy, and the like. Indeed, you can find dozens of pieces on sites like Shutterstock.

Though we feel that Sangsorn’s work rises above just that definition. The soft colors, clever use of silhouettes, and depth helps it feel inviting and dreamlike. the metaphors feel relatable, and the color palette feel grounding.

What emotions does this art elicit in you?

  1. I liked the tree outside of a cave that was shaped by a human head the best. I wouldn’t mind having that picture on a wall in my house.
