CONFESSIONS FROM THE STILL

Photography, Political / Social, Digital, Aluminium, 20x20x3cm, 2012
CONFESSIONS FROM THE STILL is a series of images taken throughout Southeast Asia.

The modern soul of these countries lies along their riverbanks, on the surface of their lakes and hidden quietly in their city waterways meandering throughout.

It is the tumultuous and sometimes terrifying past that speaks quietly from the depths. The souls of those lost to the Cambodian genocide, the dictatorship in Burma and the Vietnam War rest hauntingly in the currents below.

From the Mekong Delta to the Chao Phraya to the Irrawaddy Delta, the aesthetic perfection of the elements floating on the water's surface tries to mask the secrets lying below… to silence the confessions from the still.
