Wastescape, the winning artwork for the 2019 UOB Painting of the Year (Thailand), Established Artist Category, is the design inspiration for this Annual Report. Mr Chaichana’s artwork is a commentary on how innovation can result in scrap metal and its lasting impact on the environment. It reminds us to consider carefully the consequences of our actions and the legacy we want to leave for future generations.
