Title: 01 / Beyond Bayon
Description: Cambodian American Buddhist Monk visited Bayon, a Buddhist temple. Cambodia’s been in conflicts and wars many years. Some places even had bombs dropped where it divided families into the living and the departed spirits. My wish is that we all live with Bayon’s four faces meaning, Compassion, Sympathy, Charity and Equanimity.
Title: 02 / Dream Boy
Description: A boy can dream. I asked “What do you want to be when you grow up?” He replied “Everyday in my world, I’ve seen truck drivers deliver trash from the city. I wish to be a truck driver like them. When I’m at school, I see teachers help me and others. I wish to also be a teacher in the future too.” Then, he gazes into the horizon daydreaming about his possibilities.
