I’m inspired by the folklore of Bakteo Waterfall (Huay Luang) in Ubon Ratchathani, where a man named Teo, punished by the forest, met his death. His spirit later appeared in a dream, urging the living to rename the waterfall to lift the curse, which vanished after the change. Parallel to this story, I paint the reverie between the living and the dead, as well as the reverie between the old and the new name.​

"​A group of friends went into the forest to collect beehives near a waterfall without performing any rituals or informing the spirits of the land. Upon reaching the waterfall, a man named Teo used a vine to lower himself from a cliff to hit the beehive. Suddenly, some said Teo saw it, some said his friends did; the vine turned into a snake. Some said Teo, some said his friends, cut the vine in panic, causing Teo to fall and die. After that, the waterfall was named "Bak Teo."Since then, accidents occurred frequently at the waterfall. Some said it was relatives of the deceased, some claimed locals dreamed of Teo, who told them to rename the waterfall to "Huai Luang" because "Bak Teo" was inauspicious. After the name change, no further accidents happened at the waterfall. Since then, it became Huai Luang Waterfall. A large and famous waterfall in Ubon Ratchathani.
