Festivals – Photographic Expression

Case Studies: Thailand

The opportunity to celebrate festivals caused a certain feeling of absence of violence in both the boys' and girls' opinion ­ to celebrate with each other, to perform what one has rehearsed and practised. Harvest festival is very popular ­ small arrangements of flowers and candles are set free in the river.
