Sok Dara
a stilted house over the Tonle Sap, Cambodia
Sok Dara lives in a house that seems to float between earth and water in the Tonle Sap region. His days are spent climbing telegraph poles, ensuring that the wires connecting his village to the outside world remain unharmed by the relentless monsoon. At night, he lies in bed, thoughts meandering like the river beneath his home, pondering the minute details most overlook, like the quivering ears of a distant dog.
