“Sai-Sinn” (สายสิญจน์), or white threads used for holy ceremony for connecting what we call the holy stream; are installed onto the limbs. The tree now forms a connection between the branches and the underground stems. As the thread is buried into the earth, a networkofbeliefs and myth is embedded into this holy land. With the threads, functioning like fibreoptics, transporting holy stream from one place to the other; “Mystree” provokes questions beyond the discourse of the objects’ materiality, by reflecting upon the meaning and value, our culture has embodied into the material-hood via the acts of beliefs and religious ceremony, forming another layer of interpretation by faith. These hanging threads now form an invisible boundary that defines a sacred space under the tree; an interplay between thejuxtaposition of beliefs and practicality through the use of materials of faith, representing the invisible implication of the object hood.
