Sakarit (pronounced: Sa-ka-rit) is a multidisciplinary maximalist designer and a Proxima Centauri enthusiast who focuses on Environmental Graphic Design. This field combines graphic design, videos, sculpture, interior design, and various other design disciplines to create visually engaging, informative, or aesthetic environments.
Sakarit’s collection of works focuses on the use of graphic elements and signage to communicate information. It also embraces the concept of “Gesamtkunstwerk,” influenced by Wagner’s idea of a “total work of art” or an “all-embracing art form.” This approach enhances the audience’s experience and reinforces the identity, branding, and aesthetics of a place.
Furthermore, as a maximalist, Sakarit often incorporates intricate and elaborate, multilayered objects into his works. As humorous as he is, his works are also very whimsical and enjoyable to look at.
