This is a long term project, a result of a journey, which started in South East Asian countries: Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia and Myanmar. Between August 2019 to March 2020, I crossed 4 borders and I arrived in Myanmar, my last destination, due to the onset of pandemic.
I was fascinated by the imbalances typical of South East Asian countries, to tell what somehow exist but is always out of the spotlights, given that mostly, there is a tendency of pointing on touristic attractions, leaving aside all the rest.
I surprisingly learnt that, in such hidden places, people become Resilient and this is the only way they have, to resist and respond to coercion and control, although more often, they do this, illegally and precariously.
