The Super Ever Fruitier!: Burin Pong and the Fictional Island He Created


There was a time when Burin Pong only needed three things: exercise, solo travel, and fruit smoothies. From this simple routine grew a sense of self-love, which eventually evolved into an entire fictional world called BR Fruity Island.

That world has now taken physical form at GalileOasis Gallery through his solo exhibition The Super Ever Fruitier!, running from May 30 to June 29, 2026. The exhibition features drawings, sculptures, and the latest collection from BRlover, a label also founded by Burin Pong.

Within BR Fruity Island, Burin Pong inhabits the role of BRgoddess, while the island is populated by BRboys, individuals born from extraordinary fruits. Each carries a Fruiter, which serves as both a representation of identity and a source of energy. There are no rigid rules on the island. Every individual is free to live life in their own way.

What makes this miniature mythology particularly compelling is its own set of rituals. One of them is the sacred fruit-water ceremony, where, after physical training, individuals extract and share the essence of fruit into a holy pool as an offering to BRgoddess. Within the logic of Burin Pong’s universe, this fruit water symbolizes happiness and strength, possessing the power to create Fruiter warriors or spread positive energy beyond the island itself.

The exhibition opened during Pride Month and is curated by Jason Yang. Burin Pong is a graduate of Silpakorn University’s Fashion Design program, whose work has extended to collaborations with Versace, Nike, Gentle Woman, and Converse. Yet The Super Ever Fruitier! feels deeply personal, a fictional island constructed as a place of belonging and return for the artist himself.

The Super Ever Fruitier! is on view until June 29, 2026, at GalileOasis Gallery.
