Contour refers to 3D vectors we usually use in the map to construct the replica of places so that we can simply understand its geography. Contour drawing in art means the technique of rough drawing so that we can simply understand the sizes, dimensions, shapes and appearances of things. Angkrit Ajchariyasophon had been working with the people in Rikuzentakata and started the project called 1000 Rainbows. The project communicates mainly about ‘hope’. However, when he came back to Thailand where, in this period of time, ‘colors’ were used widely as symbolic of political ideals, he therefore created a set of abstract paintings which he claimed to be inspired by ‘White on White’ of Russian artist ‘Kazimir Malevich’ and ‘Spectrum V’ of American artist ‘Ellsworth Kelly’. Through this set of paintings, he intended to record the incidents and/or witness the changes occurred in Thailand in this period of time as he believed it was a very crucial time for Thai people and/or Thai society to get through.
