The photographer took a picture showing plants alone in Laos to convey different perspectives of the Lao lifestyle and living environment. The plants were photographed from a low viewpoint against a large natural background to symbolize how Lao people live in difficult, poor conditions yet find their environment peaceful. By placing the subject plants in hard spaces between rocks, the photographer aimed to depict how Lao people feel lonely while living in challenging surroundings, though the background suggests Laos itself is a quiet, cozy country.
