The series "White Wind" illustrates the situation of Muslim children in southern Thailand. It shows their courage in the face of violence. Insurgents target schools, teachers and students, especially girls, spreading fear in the community. Incurring reprisals, this schoolgirl attends class while the risk of conflict is ever present and real. The artist explores the fragile strength of childhood, hope and peace in the eyes of a young.
