THE BUDDHA WEARS PRADA

COLLECTIBLE ARTWORKS
“The Buddha wears Prada” (2025) is an art project that reimagines the intersection of religion and materialism through the lens of fashion by using discarded monk robes collected from temples.
The artist transforms these sacred yet wasted materials into desirable contemporary art pieces by incorporating them with luxury fashion brand aesthetics and logos. Creating a dialogue about the shifting perception of value and status symbols in contemporary society. In Thailand, Buddhism and materialism coexist paradoxically while Buddhist teachings advocate detachment from material desires, fashion remains a powerful status symbol. It challenges the idea of what gives an object its value and reflects how societal contexts can reshape the perception of sacredness.
Beyond religious discourse, this project critiques modern consumer culture and its contradictions with Buddhist philosophy. It opens a space for contemplation on faith, materialism, and the evolving nature of value. The project is presented through textile embroidery, silkscreened tapestry, and documented fashion photography.

THE LITTLE BUDDHA
Made of a ½ Swiss FR silver coin from 1950 that is often overlooked into a revered spiritual symbol. This project seeks to explore the intersection of the material and spiritual worlds, and the duality of value. It raises questions about the power of money and the transformative potential of art and belief.
The project encourages viewers to reconsider their perceptions of worth and to explore the deeper meanings behind material objects.
Exhibiting at a former bank in Basel Social Club between June 15-21, 2025 during Art Basel, creating a fitting backdrop for this value exploration.
PRESS
“With a bold, soulfully powerful gaze, Thailandese artist Eda Phanlert Sriprom entrances you with an artistic practice full of haunting underpinnings and spiritual layers, which are soulful and poignant in equal measure. ”
