Displayed in front of a bright LED-lit pagoda silhouette, the heads are derived from mythological "giants" from Thai folklore. They were created out of clay and molded with silicone and epoxy dough. After building the mold, multiple were hollow casted out of fluorescent-dyed resin, tinted with pink spray paint, and drilled to become glorified incense holders. The structure is a wheeled wooden pagoda, enabling the piece to hide speakers, the power cable, a scent system (which was just a slow cooker resting behind the structure; more sophisticated techniques coming soon), and wiring for the lights.

Heads – hollow-casted resin, paint, incense. Structure – wood, LED lights, acrylic, wheels. Installation slow cooker – coconut milk, lemongrass, galangal, chicken thighs, soy sauce, broth, garlic.
