Angkor is, of course, the temples, the sculptures, and the splendor that has transcended centuries, still resonating with us today as powerfully as it did at its inception. But Angkor has also been a hub of people, activities, and the intricate relationship between nature and humanity—an embodiment of deep cultural beliefs. Angkor is not merely a mausoleum; it is a living entity.

Everything that has withstood the test of time—transforming and evolving while remaining solidly grounded—must be preserved, celebrated, and cared for. We need to look attentively and respectfully at the moss that adorns a statue, the gestures of a young woman, those of a monk, and even those of a monkey, alongside the diligent efforts of the workers.

Born in Siem Reap in 1983, LIM Bunhong works infield of Conservation of Angkor Monument & Intangible Heritage Research in Angkor Site. Naturally attuned to these themes, he describes himself as “Angkorian and Cambodian.” He skillfully frames details while situating scenes within the landscape, capturing fragments and embracing the expansive vision of Angkor.
