HIGH DOKMAI FLORAL is curated by Yonna Pakpoom — a floral artist, singer, producer, and DJ born and raised in Bangkok, Thailand.

Growing up in a military family, the idea of being an artist always felt out of reach — even unrealistic. But as a rebellious child, Yonna found her freedom through music and art. She began singing and performing at the age of seven and continued throughout her college years. Her sense of belonging came alive when she could create and perform with her community — freely, without rules.

In 2014, Yonna moved to Los Angeles to study music production. But in 2021, her path shifted unexpectedly when she discovered a new creative language through flowers. Working with flowers brought her back to childhood memories in Thailand — sunny days when her grandmother would place jasmine flowers in a cup of ice water. That simple, sensory memory opened something within her — a space where sound, scent, and story could exist together.
