Drawing from her Thai roots and ancestral artisanal traditions, Amanda Phingbodhipakkiya’s Sun Porch installation Return Home weaves a narrative of migration, rebirth and symbiosis in the form of a suspended canopy of intricately knotted and braided fibers. Meditating on the bonds between the human spirit and elements of the earth, the installation manifests as a cascading tapestry sculpted to evoke the silhouette of a Thai spirit house that honors the spiritual and ancestral realm while exploring themes of grounding, transience and regeneration. Within this verdant grove, Return Home invites viewers to immerse themselves in the cyclical rhythms of the natural world, to reflect on our innate capacity for renewal, and to embrace the nourishing power of ancestral rootedness—a sublime alchemy of physical and spiritual realms.

Amanda Phingbodhipakkiya is a Brooklyn-based transdisciplinary artist whose work spans sculpture, painting, public art, fiber and ritual. The daughter of Thai and Indonesian immigrants, her practice focuses on creating liminal spaces that facilitate healing and transformation. Through her work, Phingbodhipakkiya channels loss and disconnection into portals of renewal, amplifying marginalized voices and weaving together cultural identities, colonial legacies and personal histories. Her installations often invite audience participation, turning viewers into collaborators in the creation of living monuments. Projects include Time Owes Us Remembrance at the Bangkok Art and Culture Center, Thailand and Of Soil and Sky at the Brooklyn Museum, NY. Phingbodhipakkiya’s work is held in permanent collections such as the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. She was a 2023-2025 Jerome Hill Artist Fellow, a 2024 NYC Artadia Awardee and was an artist-in-residence with the NYC Commission on Human Rights.
