Kra-Sue is an ancient Thai myth about a woman’s spirit that is said to be passed through her saliva. Before dying, Kra-Sue forces her daughter or granddaughter to swallow her saliva, thereby transferring the spirit. At night, Kra-Sue hunts by detaching her head from her body while keeping her internal organs intact, flying around in search of food. Her diet consists mainly of dung, animal organs, and garbage.

This artwork is a conceptual photograph that tells the story of Kra-Sue through a necklace on a woman's neck, inspired by the internal organs of Kra-Sue, crafted from metal to represent the haunting moment. The photographs are titled Imprisonment.

For lighting, we used red and green. According to the legend, when Kra-Sue passes by, her internal organs glow green, and red symbolizes blood and the organs of Kra-Sue.
