Born in 1996, I am a French-Cambodian photographer based in Paris. My work focuses on stories related to my family history and our refugee past; migration, social exclusion and inter-community intolerance.
I started my career working for NGOs to pay for my studies in art direction. Since 2016, I have been documenting the Syrian refugee crisis in the Middle East before turning my attention to Syria after the fall of the Islamic State organization. In parallel, I documented the war in Ukraine (since 2018) and covered humanitarian disasters such as the Rohingya crisis.
I traveled to Darfur, Sudan between 2017 and 2018 to document the ongoing conflict and its aftermath before beginning a long-term work on the social paradoxes my hometown in 2019.
In 2021, I joined Magnum Photos agency as a nominee.
