WERDIN  takes viewers on a journey through “din” (Thai for “earth” or “clay”), not merely as a raw material for ceramics, but as a symbol of the process of becoming. The title plays with the German word Werden, meaning “to be,” “to become,” or “to come into being,” and merges it with the English phrase “we are” and the Thai word “din”. The result, “We are din” or “WERDIN”, suggests the fusion of human identity with earth as material, as body, and as cultural consciousness.

Although clay is his primary medium, Wasinburee also turns to materials such as metal, recognizing that clay alone cannot always convey the full emotional and conceptual range he seeks. These materials are not just media for making art or craft; they are a language of transformation.

Wasinburee expands upon the idea of “becoming” through the artistic process deeply entangled with material and through questioning recorded history. Through hands-on processes, material selection, experimentation, and installation, Wasinburee reconsiders and reinterprets notions of civilization through thought, emotion, memory, and identity. 

WERDIN, then, is not merely an art exhibition. It is a conversation between humans and materials such as clay, metal, other materials, and technologies that give rise to processes that are always in a state of “becoming”.

The works on display may one day serve as records of a new kind of history and as mirrors reflecting the actions of humankind still in progress. Here, the artist is not only a maker of things, but a questioner, inviting us to look back at our lives in the ways we choose to understand them.
