All That Remains

All That Remains is a photographic series made in a border town in Cambodia following the Cambodia–Thailand ceasefire. After months of fighting, the landscape bears visible marks of conflict: excavated earth, unexploded ordnance, damaged houses, and abandoned roads. Much of the town remains empty, with only soldiers stationed along the frontline and families who occasionally return to check on what is left of their homes.

The photographs focus on the aftermath of violence rather than the moment of conflict itself. Destroyed interiors, broken walls, and scattered belongings reveal traces of lives interrupted. In some houses, family photographs still hang on the walls. Clothes remain draped across improvised lines, altars stand partially intact, and Buddhist statues sit among rubble.

At times families return briefly to visit their homes or leave offerings. These gestures of care and remembrance contrast with the surrounding absence. The town exists in a suspended state, neither fully abandoned nor fully inhabited.

Rather than documenting destruction alone, the series considers how conflict continues to shape landscapes and domestic spaces after violence has passed. The images reflect on how memory, ritual, and material traces remain embedded in place.
