“I see myself as an artist, architect, designer, maker, illustrator, photographer, and writer using these roles to express my thoughts and emotions, to be vulnerable, to be true to myself. Together, they shape who I am and how I continue to grow.”
Based in London, Cheer Manlekha is originally from Thailand, yet shaped by many places she calls home. Through familiar, mundane everyday objects, she explores themes of impermanence and personal human experience. Cheer studied Industrial design at Central Saint Martins where she developed her approach involving natural elements, allowing its life cycle to guide the process while minimising human intervention to reflect cycles and transformation of all living things.
