i saw her in a dream

Bangkok, Thailand

i met kwan at lumpini park, in the heart of bangkok.

although it was the dead of winter, bangkok was still steaming with humidity; aunties doing their evening tai-chi and expats running on the outside track dotted the grass. the light was dimming as golden hour quickly disappeared while we were styling the outfits, and blue hour revealed itself slowly as we began shooting.

i was at the bangkok airport mere hours later, flying into taiwan to celebrate new years eve with my best college friends. while i knew there was community and familiar faces awaiting me, i still found myself reflecting back the weeks (and photos i took) in thailand solo, being able to meet creatives, experiment with photography, and reinvent myself abroad. what a wonderful privilege to experience it all. thailand, i’ll be back. if not in a dream, then as soon as i can.
