Beneath the blue floodlights
the city glowed orange.
Its own colour.
Its own play.
Its movement felt.
A golden hue,
vibrance
in all directions.
Not red.
Not yellow.
Just orange,
Progress-
ive even.
under blue floodlights.

I bring my firstborn to you.
Trust is now mandatory.
One year, you promise their return -
unbroken, unshaken, undisturbed.

Faster. Better. Stronger.
Gone.

Believe and support - for your safety, and their glory.

They patched up the wall again.
No drones this time.
Just bricks, blind spots, and the quiet hum of mutual distrust.
Progress, apparently.

The golden shrine of opulence, excess, and entitlement takes center stage, gleaming.
At the edges, the youth blur — unfocused, forgotten.

The water lapped against the beach, as a volleyball game played out.

Lines were drawn, crossed, redrawn. Spikes hit a little too hard.

It’s all fun until someone looses and eye.

Just a game.

It’s all optics. Trumpets, drumrolls, flash news blaring into trembling palms. Screens lit up with soldiers advancing "huge and terrible" and then the chant begins

“Our soldiers! Our gallant soldiers! Our heroic brothers!”

Now march in line.
Both sides. All sides. Every time.

These unfinished bohemoths reach into Phnom Penh’s sky, grasping like entitled children for attention then left behind, unwanted toys as ambition fades and riches dissolve into illusion.

Build Your Dreams.

The conversation with the butcher unfolded in chapters. Each one punctuated by the crack of a meat cleaver on wood. Only then would she reach for the eggs, place them, and then pick the story back up where she left off.

An intersection of chaos, seen through a window that’s already framed the deaths of three young delivery riders since I arrived in Phnom Penh. Horns, heat, and too much needed too fast. Everything moves like it’s trying not to look.

Tad Mouan is a modest cut in the Bolaven Plateau. But as it moves, it thrashes like a storm trapped in a teacup, all teeth and turbulence. Hurling itself over rocks with a fury far larger than its size.

Twisting, turning, teeth bared, it tears through jungle and stone like it remembers something we’ve tried to forget. It doesn’t speak. The river god howls beneath Songphamit falls before emerging, a face of rock, ancient and furious.

The climb was crooked, like time had shrugged. Steep stairs built from the relics of ancient gods. At the summit the monks emerged, robes glowing like embers, sweat soaked & silent to meet Buddha, cast in molten gold.

Streets of Bangkok, Bangkok, Thailand.

There is colour everywhere in this city.
