Harit Srikao is almost 20 and he has been a photographer since the age of 15. His first photography project is a way to get over one of the worst memories of his life: this good student, who takes evening classes, had to walk home at night when Bangkok’s streets were blocked by the protests between the “red shirts” and “yellow shirts” that destabilized the country. During that time, he crossed paths with drunken men fighting with knives, aggressive dogs, prostitutes, and the night became worrisome. Two years later, he decided to walk again along the same path with his camera in order to get over his nightmares.His second photo series, while still so young, is his personal way of expressing profound sadness because he finds that his childhood is now behind him. By mixing remarkable photos of children, light and free, with images of fetuses in jars in a museum, he produced a startling proposal, elegantly framed, with perfect colors.
