Whatever negative emotional states you might have experienced, you will find a way to manage them in your own way during "Everybody/Cries/Sometimes", which is running at RCB Galleria 1-3 on the 2nd floor of River City Bangkok, Charoen Krung 24, until Sept 30.

Presented by Trendy Gallery, this is the latest solo exhibition by Crybaby Molly who brings along paintings and sculptures of her signature style to help plumb the seething well of emotions beneath our friable public facades.
While most people choose to conceal their anger, sadness, grief, depression or pain instead of accepting and dealing with them, the artist finds that each suppressed emotion creates an imbalance in our hearts that can accumulate day by day.
For those who isolate themselves from everyone in life and drown in their own solitude, they might be possibly harming the souls of those around them, denying themselves happiness and even rejecting love from others.

The artist believes that crying, which has often been interpreted as a symbol of weakness, can heal our souls and help us recover the shattered parts of ourselves as when we release those emotions along with the streaming tears, the heavy burden we used to carry starts to lighten.
For this exhibition, she wishes to console all viewers and prevent them from crying alone. She's also come up with the Insomniac Zone, a sanctuary for everyone who has cried themselves to sleep, or laid awake in the darkness, trapped in an interminable gyre of thoughts until the morning light.
Located in the RCB Artery on the 1st floor, the show-stopping waterworks in this special zone will enable people to cry in the company of other insomniacs and also a colossal Crybaby sculpture standing in the exhibition room.
There is no admission fee to the exhibition but tickets to the Insomniac Zone cost 450 baht including a "No Sleep" set of exclusive enamel pins and a pyjama suit to be worn into the room, as well as exclusive access to take photographs and shed all the tears you've been holding back.
