» According to the Department of Provincial Administration, in 2022, almost 19% of Thailand's population of 66,090,475 were aged 60 or over -- officially elderly people. This data does not include the elderly not counted in the census, which could raise the percentage to as high as 20%. Bangkok's percentage of elderly people is 21.48%, Chiang Mai's 21.14%, and Nonthaburi's 20.14%. These figures suggest that Thailand is on the verge of becoming a super-aged society.

» Pelagan S, an illustrator, graphic and visual artist, was interested in the rawness of symbols and characters that appear on tattooed talismans. Although attracted to the original patterns, he wanted to create his own versions, so he extracted and redesigned the forms to be more modern and made paintings of them. He later presented the paintings to SAC Gallery's curators -- Patticha Thitithammaporn and Nutdanai Songsriwilai -- for exhibition. The curators, inspired by his work, developed the exhibition "Mu Te Lu: Ilmu Teluh" which features works of four artists -- Pelagan S, Eiair, Jun Sekino and Noon Passama.
