Death, Transfiguration, Transcendence

Transfixed between dimensions of being

Depiction of a revered monk in a style reminiscent of Van Gogh

Based on a photo I took in Vietnam, it's a depiction of a transcendent instance (which also possesses a power that could be dangerous), and an impressionistic portrait of two girls on a bike.

Composed of photos I took in Burma/Myanmar, there's enough ambiguity (as in the boys' expression) to avoid a clichéd depiction of a Buddhist monk, while also having a palpable mystical quality.

Based on a picture I took in Cambodia, in this image I was doing something with memory, mood, and the quality of floating and balancing on the river in a basin. The frog is from Angkor Wat.

My digital illustration of this sensationalist contemporary tableau.

A "Post Impressionist" digital painting of a Cambodian temple guardian. I wanted it to be vibrant, energetic, luminous, and seemingly tactile.

Made up from photos I took at Angkor Wat in Cambodia. The girl is someone I was dating, and the overall mood has a sense of "love."

An elongated triptych using photos I took in Champasak, and a drawing I made to go with them. Revolves around an incident in which I rescued a lizard from some boys, and ideas related to karma.
