Praiya Ketkool dominates her canvas confidently through the use of colour. Her canvases are covered with limitless line and colours that she picked up from the everyday grass flower scenes. She enlarges the scene, magnifying it to be bigger than it actually is in the hopes of challenging the perception of her audience. The dense and tangled grass flower luminates the panes which portrays Ketkool's little universe.

Floriography will introduce its audiences to the universe of the grass flower through visual grammars. Beautiful flowers, are normally used as metaphors and symbols to communicate one's deepest and most intimate feelings. Ketkool is able to highlight the exquisiteness of the untold roadside stories of the grass flowers by giving something that is deemed insignificant, significance.

By unearthing and paying attention to the beauty of the often times raw parts of nature, Ketkool has been able to show her audiences her extraordinary abilities of observations as well as being an artist. For instance, the grass flower becomes more than just a flower on the side of the road, it becomes the representation of the beauty of strength and resillence through times of hardship.
