The two days I spent in Dan Sai, Thailand were visually and emotionally unforgettable. The vibrant masks and warm, friendly locals have yet to fade from my memory. We took many photos of the festival, but in order to truly preserve my intense feelings of that experience, I knew I had to do more. Using our photos as my canvas, I discovered a way in which to add an extra dimension that will forever make me a part of Phi Ta Khon.

Instead of using actual oils as in my past work, I painted this time with my mouse, using computer technology and a bit of imagination to alter, cut, chop, paste, brush, and transform the scenes as I once used to do with my hands.
