ENTRY DESCRIPTION
From the Series Between Land and Lake
Every photo tells a story. For me, the stories have something to do with the poetry of place and the message that is conveyed in the here and now.
Driven by chance encounters and spontaneous responses my motivations are less about a specific location but more in the everyday moments and the changing nature of place as a narrative device. This series of images span the landscape between the land once known as Siam to the Tonle Sap Lake in Cambodia. They reveal intimate truths about human experience, culture and everyday life; they provide the setting for the formation of collective identities and my response to place.
