Nong Kwai, Thailand

Taken at a primary school in Thailand on Children’s Day, the photographer stumbled across this weathered wooden table, its surfaced covered with leaves and dust, yet carrying a timeless message scratched into it: Love.

Children’s Day in Thailand is a day where children are celebrated, a day where they can present themselves as they wish - to be their true selves.

This simple, raw moment - a celebration of acceptance and joy - captures the essence of the day. As children laugh and play, unfiltered and free, the word ‘Love’ etched in the table reminds us that love is everywhere, even in the quiet, unnoticed corners of life. This photograph signifies unity, acceptance and the universal truth that love transcends all boundaries.

Embrace YOU. You as you dream to be. You in your truest expression.
