The first picture that caught my eye was the really blue picture of the clothes being blown around a mountain side. Ironically the mental picture in my head took me to a painting my uncle drew of a water village from back home in Brunei . The picture my uncle drew (Pg Haji Muhammad Pg Duraman) drew a lot of these water village image pictures because he grew up in a water village. Also the water village is an important landmark of my country.

It is a picture of a very nice moment I had with my best friends, where although we had not money for eating or luxury, everybody said “Good Morning!” with a smile in their faces.

This image reminds me of a picture/film that I saw about Himalaya where the people in the village hangs those colorful piece of fabric everywhere on the line, especially on celebration.

A small market festival of the small village town in Europe . It evokes me to the movie called ‘The sound of music' as the background set is the blue mountain, which relates to this movie. I think this image was taken in Europe during summer. The dark blue and yellow colours remind me of my high school in Thailand where we use purple and yellow as our colour symbol. A tree reminds me of the Christmas tree. It looks very familiar but I don't know what it is.

In this picture the background mountains were cover with snow and some piece of colorful fabric are attached with string and also some wooden stick are supporting that string. This picture make me memories about our Kachin Tribe Manaw Festival. The upper part of Myanmar is very cold and snowing in the winter. In the Kachin state, you can see the same image like that because most of the time Kachin state is very cold and in the winter all mountains are covering with snow. In Manaw festival, young people are hanging their hands and dancing around fire woods. The bamboo sticks are placing in the middle of the ground and the colorful small flags are attached with the string and swing in the air. In our people there are eight tribes, which are Kachin, Kayin, Kaya, Chin, Shan, Mon, Myanmar and Yakine. Each tribe has special kinds of dancing and traditional festivals. Kachin Manaw festival is hold in every year. Before this festival they prepare to hunt animals for eating together during in that festival. This festival made them faith therefore they held in every year just like new year.

This made me to think about great human catastrophe of country. It looks so similar to the refugee and IDPs settlements in Azerbaijan . People who were obliged to flee from danger, were placed to the refugee camps, which became their homes for more than ten years. People live their, being denied from the most basic things , but the great hope to return to their native lands is still in their hearts...

Windy and cold, but temporary, for sure we are not staying there for a long time, even the weather might change, there is a person in the right down corner, we can see only his hand, is just putting this structure or cloth in front of them camera, and he will remove them soon, it seams it will only takes him one move to pull them back, I guess he will also leave some parts to fly a way, but this is just because he don't care.

A picture that depicts a snowy mountain range in the background and in the mist of all the white there are different patch of colour. Like a community of colours close to each other and make such an already beautiful look out even more special. This image reminds me about some movies that show snow. I had no chance to see snow because where I come from it doesn't snow not even once.

C'est une peinture qui montre en avant plan une partie de trois arbres et des feuilles d'arbres colorés, puis aperçoit dans l'ombre une foret, au fond une montagne recouverte de neige.

To me this image of the Tibetan flags, reminds me of my love for Buddhism and Tibetan poetry and scripture. This image that I am replacing it with here, shows how I transformed some Tibetan calligraphy into a design pattern of my own for a photographic project that I did in the first term. The aim is to represent the harmony of those people, with their simple yet effective colours, with a beauty that transcends from within (see image above).
