About this artwork
The Karen people (many may know as Long Neck tribe) are part of the rich history of the Northern Thailand region and have lived mostly along the Thai/Burmese border region with their roots going back to the region as far as 2500 years.
As they try to hold on to their culture through beauty and grace, many of these proud people and their way of life have become endangered in recent years due to the traumatic war in Myanmar. Creating hundreds of thousands… of refugees, this bloody war has forced many to find (relative) safety in places like Thailand and other areas of the world.
In creating this abstract portrait, I hope to bring attention to their plight and the issues that challenge them.
