In the Face of Disability 1b

 

Thai disabled kids in Art-for-All art camp 2003 & 2004

This group of photographs was my first entry into the world of people with disabilities. The Thailand Art-for-All art camp is held annually for about 100 kids with mix disabilities. The camp is usually held near Bangkok and I started as a volunteer artist at that camp in 2001. Since then I have been back every year to help out and to document what is going on at the art camp. This collection was shown in Thailand in 2005.

It was my first display of portraits of the Paralympic athletes of Malaysia and included in that collection were some pictures of the disabled kids in an art camp in Thailand. These images were taken between 2003 and2004.
