'Beauty of Origin' is an interdisciplinary collaboration piece for the project 'AngKor Wat'. The work explores the space of AngKor itself being in such a new world since its construction in the 12th century for King Suryavarman II. Legos were utilised as to create a ruins which reflects a symbol of celestial from the walls of AngKor, the Apsaras. In construction of the old and the new, it was as if we re-build AngKor in its prime, again in this time frame that we were in, in order to celebrate AngKor Wat. 

"...Our Bare feet Kissed the earth, chisel into these rocks, a bond of friendship, a hug from the old and the new, together, to bring AngKor to life..."
