When the Inner and Outer Forests Mirrors One Another
La Forêt de l’Âme | 魂の森 — A Solo Exhibition by MIYABI
Bangkok, THAILAND - La Forêt de l’Âme, or The Forest of The Soul, is a solo exhibition of Thai-Japanese artist MIYABI, exploring the subtle space between the natural world and the inner self.
Through works centered on nature, spirituality, and the human psyche, the exhibition invites viewers into a symbolic forest — one that lives internally, shaped by sensation more than sight. But it also gestures outward, toward real forests and fragile ecosystems that are increasingly under threat — reminding us that what fades in the world around us often mirrors what we neglect within.
The exhibition features paintings, ceramics, and mixed-media works rooted in Miyabi’s lifelong connection to nature, particularly to birds, which appear throughout the show as both symbols and silent guides. Her practice has long aligned with nature and wildlife, but rather than presenting overt commentary, she leans into subtler, slower forms of storytelling. Personal memories, spiritual messages, and emotional details are layered into each piece, inviting viewers to linger and interpret.
In an era of ecological urgency, La Forêt de l’Âme offers a quieter but deeply felt reflection on what we risk losing: not just in the natural world, but within ourselves.
La Forêt de l’Âme runs from 9th of August to the 9th of September 2025 at Ground Bangkok Gallery. A selection of works will be available for purchase during the exhibition. Admission is free and open to all.
