Thai Society

For my new art project, I have been looking at "Thai Society" in relation to "Suicide". Many thai students at high school and university levels are pressured to maintain a GPA of 4.0 and once this grade point average is not reached, the students family are not satisfied. In a lot of thai families it's all about looking good and status. (A thing parents seem to care about) But the children have to help their parents by being good students, so the parents can be proud and tell all their friends about it. The pressure here might be to much for some students. Up to a level where if they do not reach the GPA of 4.0, they are so stressed and therefore are looking for a way out.  Committing Suicide. In this art work I have tried to show this concern by building a university (with clay) and a student jumping down (committing suicide) to the ground, lying their lifeless. I have thought of making this a series of art work that show the pressuring on students and the different ways they commit suicide.
