Born in Cambodia in 1996, I graduated in architecture from Royal University of Fine Arts (2019), and Contemporary art class at Sa Sa Art Project (2018). My works are deeply rooted in the local environment, and they often serve as a commentary on the rapid and unconstrained development of my city. I develop sculptures and installations by exploring various forms, scales, and materials. I focus on establishing a lively connection and communication with material objects and elements in nature. My interest aims to evoke contemplation and reflection through simple, enigmatic imagery. I have presented my artworks in Cambodian and International venues such as “Those Who Make Tomorrow’’, Balai Seni May Bank, Kuala Lumpur (2024); "All That Surrounds Us”, 16 albemarle project space, Sydney(2023); “Cambodian artist in MAIIAM’’, MAIELIE, Khon Kaen, Thailand(2023); “Shaking land and water’’, Esplanade-Theatres on the bay, Singapore(2021); and “Folding Concrete 2’’, Part of Contested Modernities Exhibition, Berlin(2021). I won the Dogma Prize ''Introspection” in 2021. I participated in the Maybank Foundation Artist Fellowship Programme curated by Chan + Hori Contemporary, 2024. I took part in a collaboration workshop with Multidisciplinary Art (MDA) students from Chiang Mai University’s Faculty of Fine Arts at Sa Sa Art Projects (2020). I was in Pisaot, an artist in the residency program at Sa Sa Art Projects with an opening studio Merge (2019); and Contemporary Art Class, led by Khvay Samnang’s Co-founder of Sa Sa Art Projects (2018)
