Droplet Microcosmos project

This is a unique project that I started in 2001 on a film camera, and continued working on it on digital media when I traveled to different places. These photos are straight from the camera, not photo manipulated, that is why they are unique in the world. After I published this work, and NGO WaterAid contacted me to go to Cambodia, and take some photos of people who were affected with lack of clean water. So I took dozen of portraits of just regular people like rice farmers, nurses, doctors, students inside the small water droplet, to emphasize the importance of having clean water everywhere. This photos were always reminding me how small we are in this universe, and that is why I called it “Droplet Microcosmos”
