Soe Min

a floating market village in Inle Lake, Myanmar

Soe Min grew up amidst the floating villages of Inle Lake, witnessing the chaotic beauty and danger of the buffalo races. As a rodeo clown, he learned the subtleties of calming both wild animals and anxious spectators. The smooth pebbles he collects remind him of every place he's called home, a tactile connection to his past. The envelope weight sensation that defines his life is a constant reminder of the precarious balance between survival and promise.
