From Macara's Vault

From Macara's Vault I share my film and digital photos with narration upon creating a healthy and thriving space for self-growth & community. Now I want to share it with you.

Through my journey with self-taught photography over 5 years, I have documented my surrounding.

Hello,
សួស្ដី នេះគឺជារូបភាពខ្លះៗ ពីពិព័រណ៍ ដី សារុង បណ្ណសារ ដែលជាផ្នែកមួយនៃពិព័រណ៍ក្រោមចំណោមជើងថា លើលពីអារម្មណ៍ ដែលជាលទ្ធផលនៃសិក្ខាសាលា ៨ ថ្ងៃ ដែលបានរៀបចំដោយមជ្ឈមណ្ឌលខេមរសិក្សា រួមជាមួយសារមន្ទីរទួលស្លែង និងមជ្ឈមណ្ឌល​ធនធានសោតទស្សន៍បុប្ផាណា ។
I’m very honored to share a recent project that I’m apart of during the workshop “Archives of Perpetration” organized by CKS and in collaboration with TSGM and Bophana Center.
As a part of “Beyond Emotions?”, Soil, Sarong, Archives is an exhibition aimed to reanimating archives and let them tell their own stories.
I really much appreciate CKS and their partners for organizing this 8-day hand-on workshop. Thank to all the instructors and co-instructors and guest speakers for their guidance. and am I very grateful to work with my most amazing and talented teammates.

Please go experience the experience.

(1) & (2) officers assisted school children crossing the road during peak hours.

Thought: I always fear for the school children next to my house since the traffic lights aren’t helpful for their crossing the main road. I’m happy to see there is an assistant from the officers. Thank you. Our children should feel safe every time everywhere.

below the sky, between me, on the ground

I took these in March 2023. some call the pink flowers as "khmer sakura". I approached the stranger (the girl) by asking if I she loved the pink flower. While we were having conversations, I took some photos of her and her surroundings. she was waiting for her mom to send her to school.
After I had the film developed, I looked at the photos and thought to myself: pink vs green-a complete opposite color yet they completed each other. To me, the normal conversation with the stranger helped me a lot while taking their photos: it reduces awkwardness, so the photo doesn't look abrupt. all I can say is this series is very gentle. it is giving growing and blossom.

Mine
21 Sep 2023
————

It’s a normal day at home with my 2-year-old niece. After I took a shower for her, dressed her up, combed her hair, I asked her to sit on the green sofa where her toys were laying around. It was a late afternoon, so the sunlight was falling through my glass door and shone on the right side of where she was sitting. I asked her to gather what’s hers, so I can take a photograph. She picked her teddy bear, panda, her cup, and her toy laptop.

After I had the film developed, I love how she was holding on to her teddy bear so closely because it’s telling me that the bear was her favorite. Her eyes were looking straight into the camera lens and not me; this helps me see innocence (or probably she wasn’t familiar with the small camera I was using)

This photo of her reminds me of how possessive I was when I was young. And the look in her eyes is priceless. Now as I am writing this, I am very proud of this photo because it is very difficult to photograph children.
