Trading Buddhas

In the network of alleys in Bangkok’s Old City, not too far from the Grand Palace, there is a cluster of Buddha image business. This is the place they supply the physical body before those statues are put on in the middle of temples for worship so that the Buddhists can fill hearts and souls into them.

Thailand Trip 2007

This trip was the first time I visited Thailand since I moved to Sydney in 2001. That was a very long time for an ex-pat to return to homeland.
One the other hand, my perspective changed around the medium at the time—photography. And I also started to use it as video projects.
Bangkok, I still love this fucking city.
