Related Project: ‘She Cries (The Holy Water)’
She Cries (The Holy Water) is a mixed-media installation that consists of a single-channel video and a melting ice ball made of collected rain and tears. The video follows the fragmented self-reflections of a Thai artist living in the Netherlands, intertwining migration, childhood memories, and speculative folklore about a mermaid at Samila Beach with the Dutch seaside landscape and its shifting weather. It explores homesickness and folklore from a female perspective. The work is presented as part of Mirror Becomes a Partner: Photography as (Im)material Encounters, the final public presentation of the FOTODOK Lighthouse 2024/2025 program at RIB, on view from 18 to 27 September 2025.
