In a world where people have to live in a limited space behind huge walls in order to survive a man-eating Titan, Erwin Smith, the 13th Commander of the Survey Corps sacrificed his life in a battle with massive monster. The commander hoped that his people would have freedom and experience life beyond the walls.
The death of Erwin Smith, a fictional character in the manga series Attack On Titan, affected fans around the world emotionally. Artist Jinnipha Nivasabut, better known as Pan Jinnipha, a fan of manga and Japanese animation, has experienced the loss of several beloved manga characters. Thus, the young artist created the art exhibition titled 2D AfterLife at Palette Artspace, which has been set up in the atmosphere of a funeral.

.- Portraits of dozens of anime characters, each with a small altar for fans to leave flowers, adorn the wall of a Bangkok gallery a tribute to fictional heroes who met an untimely death.
The 2D Afterlife exhibit is made up of 50 of these creations from artist Jinnipha Nivasabut, who wanted to mourn the deaths of her favourite characters in popular shows and manga series.
The core concept is to explore the idea of why the deaths of these fictional characters could have such an impact on real people, the 22-year-old anime lover said.
