“The Lost, 2019”

Alliance Française Siem Reap

30th Nov 2024 – 17th Jan 2025

Sometimes we feel lost. We don’t know what’s our place in this world nor where it is. Lightly, with a very sure sense of color close to pictorial references, a young woman invents one, two, three, maybe a thousand places for herself. To do this, she stages in spaces she chooses precisely and frames with care, at sunset or by night. An atmosphere of mystery, more questions than answers, but the invention of an inner world that photography makes possible to look at. And, at the end, a very contemporary approach combining cinema and painting.

Born in 1993, she is the founder of SAHAT and lives in Siem Reap province. Her training in finance allowed her to work for various companies in the tourism industry before discovering her passion in the field of fashion design. Photography and painting serve as her creative outlets, enabling her to escape the routine of her daily professional life and create something new.

Her first real experience in photography was the workshop organized with SOVAN Philong by the Photo Phnom Penh Association at the end of 2019. The exhibition is the result of those two weeks of experiment in Siem Reap.
