Hi all,

Here my latest project shot during my 8 months journey in the historical site of Bagan in Myanmar. Quite dramatically and as you may know, the country is now falling into pieces after the february 1st military coup that overthrown the democratically elected governement, destroying the hopes of 50 million people for a better future and causing almost a 1000 death among civilians and peaceful protesters.

In a moment where they need international attention the most, this work wish to portray the uniqueness of the Burmese culture, as well as to bear witness of their incredible strength, whose true power lies in compassion, gracefulness, true generosity and human dignity.

As the matter receive very little coverage on the medias and the international community is mostly turning their back to them, I hope with this work to spread some awareness on their tragic situation. I wish you enjoy this work about Burma and its wonderful and peaceful people. Please help the world know about them and what's happening there.
