My studies focus on Southeast Asian art and museum practices with select research on contemporary Cambodian artists and the revitalization of traditional Cambodian art following the Khmer Rouge genocide. Current dissertation endeavors analyze how contemporary Cambodian artists portray land and landscape in their art as both sites of healing and trauma. I hope to underscore the nuanced efforts of resilience artists of Southeast Asia strive for by linking historic art making with modern issues of change.
