Looking at the landscape—crossing it, appreciating it, loving it—is not necessarily the same as truly seeing it. Sovanna Kem genuinely sees it and shares his unique vision with us. More than merely observing, he sculpts the landscape with light, framing it precisely and transforming it into a breathtaking painting crafted by nature. He possesses the patience to wait for the moment when light makes colors vibrate, giving familiar spaces a fresh perspective. With an innate ability to select the perfect moment, he creates harmonious and serene compositions that reinvent the world around him.
