New Light

Through my art work, my vision is to show the pain of the people in the area along the border with Thailand and the happiness that comes from demining. The central Buddhist figure represents the Cambodian Mine Action and Victim Assistance Authority, which coordinates all mine action activities in Cambodia to clear mine-contaminated areas. With the tireless efforts of the demining agencies, Cambodia’s land is being cleared from mines and people can feel safe once again. This makes the demining agencies unforgettable to the people.
To the left of the painting, the central figure is symbolically pushing away mines and explosive remnants of war which present danger to the people, and to the right it is embracing the happiness and development that come to the people when they have safe land.
Promised Land

The long-lasting wars in Cambodia caused by internal conflicts have cost the lives of countless human and animals and also left behind a big burden for individual families and the nation as a whole. Landmines are the invisible killer that hinder development in mined areas.
This painting represents our appreciation to all the local and international mine clearance organizations that work together to remove landmines from the land. It is a celebration of their achievements. Some people living in former military bases risk their limbs and lives everyday. The people’s worry is the Government’s worry. Now, with humanitarian development, people living in previously mined areas can see the light and have hope for their future.
