FLAGS OF THE WORLD (CAMBODIA), 2007
Dye-sublimation print on polyester, 32 x 22 cm.

The work is a study of the symbolism of national and non-national flags of the world. Through the replacement of flags' colours, seals, and images with their direct textual interpretations, the series unearths a variety of historical circumstances, cultural prescriptions and aspirations of nations and organizations.
