"The issue of unemployment has made many daughters living in poor
families throughout Cambodia leave their beloved homes to go to the
city in order to find work. Moreover, many of them are forced to
immigrate into other countries including North Korea, Malaysia, and
Thailand, where they are faced with harsh labor conditions.

I want my paintings to interpret this cultural landscape and the
issues faced by women in our society, in order to show and inform
people that we must resolve this matter together and not let their
plight pass us by. "
