Hanging by a Tread (2012), consists of 18 hammocks, crafted from paa-lai, multicolored cotton textile that are also used for clothing, sheets, and items of ordinary life. The 18 hammocks are hung around 10th century sculpture of the Hindu god Vishnu, which was created during the Khmer Empire. Vishnu represents the protector; meaning there would be no need to move it as it would protect the art work. She crafted pieces that seem to float in to space; it is suspended in the air, which offers a sense of safety but also serve as ghostly reminders of lost lives. This artwork was installed in the debut at Tyler Rollins Fine Art in New York, the hanging pieces were originally installed lopsided, which was not intentional, however, Sanpitak left them like that because it represented the unstable environment.
