The number of Covid-19 deaths seen on television and online media had been increasing almost hourly during the first outbreak of the disease. The people fell ill and died as if the leaves were falling. This pandemic incident has caused sorrow for him greatly together with the city's Lock down policy to prevent the rise of the infected, Studio Glass Blowing, where he works for, has to be temporarily stopped. Therefore, he has spent these time on the Flame Working, creating tiny petals one by one. Over time Three months, he made more than 1,000 tiny petals with his own hands, “the number of these created petals cannot even compare to the number of people who have died of this terrible disease," Ake said.
He assembled these tiny flower petals into a sculpture inspired by the deceased’s "wreath" and "mortuary urn" covering the human "lungs" to express condolences to the many people who have died from this disease and to encourage and remind those who are still aware of the vulnerability of life and see the value of being alive.

A new interactive art installation takes the metropolis by storm
By Thai PBS World press
At the Marine Police Lodge, opposite the Embassy of France in Soi Charoen Krung 36, the light artists from BGC Glass Studio present the “Light Up the City” exhibition in the historical house. Here, you will find sculptures of human ears displayed in the middle of the dimly-lit room. At first sight, you have no idea what to do with the exhibition until someone makes a noise. Then, you find out that noise can technically “speak” to the light.
“We installed some vibration sensors in the art work. When you make a noise, any kind of noise, the light will respond in a different way. The louder the noise, the brighter it shines,” says the light artist at the Marine Police Lodge.“So try to make different kinds of noise. Whisper or scream, and find out how light will be transformed.”
Don’t hesitate to get creative when you visit the exhibition. Recite (or sing) Luciano Pavarotti’s “Ave Maria”, for example, or scream Public Enemy’s “Fight The Power” – and see how your voice is translated into light.
