Each bears testimony to the story and the thought of a people of rice-farmers, whose religious beliefs blend nature spirits, Hindu deities and Buddha. Numerous visual and spiritual references that are conducive to feed the traveler’s reflection, as well as it inspires the work of the artist and designer, Theam.
