I've been photographing abandoned places since 2016 & have documented over 30 locations in Thailand. I'm fascinated with the history of places that were once important components of local communities, but now lay derelict & forgotten to history. I take pictures with the intention of cataloging a time, a place, and an economic or social reality. I attempt to gain a sense of the tapped-out usefulness of an institution and a peek into it's uncertain future. Amongst the chaos is a beautiful order waiting to be discovered.
