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.
For over a decade, I have volunteered with Womanifesto, a biannual artist-led event that highlights women artists from around the world. In my role, I designed promotional materials and managed the website. Most recently, I undertook a comprehensive redesign of the web archive to emphasize both prominent and marginalized women artists, ensuring their work is more digitally accessible and preserved for future audiences.
This project involved curating an extensive archive of over 400 individual artworks, presenting significant challenges. However, I am confident that the redesigned website will enhance user experience and promote a deeper appreciation for the contributions of women artists from this Southeast Asian movement and globally.
