Manora and Phra Suthon Painting Oil on Canvas - Thailand “In this life… I follow you. In the next life, you will follow me.” A prayer made by Manora for her prince, in a previous life. The poetic story of Suthon and Manora is one of the most popular Thai literary works and has inspired fine art and the performing arts in Thailand.This is the story of Kinnari Manora, a female mythical figure with a human head and upper body, and the lower body of a bird. One day while taking a bath in a lake of the human realm, she is captured by a hunter with a magic noose and is forced to remain in the world of humans. She crosses paths with Prince Suthon, heir to the kingdom of Uttarapancala, and the two fall in love and live a chaotic and emotional story. At Merely Made, we heard this story plenty of times during our stay in Thailand and decided to choose this tale as the concept of our SS23 lookbook. Merely Made for you, him, her, and them.
