The image series depicts the dream of Panya, a young Cambodian boy who wonders about becoming a professional Khun Khmer boxer of Cambodia and to turn famous throughout South East Asia. Although Cambodian children are banned to fight professionally, low income families are often quite happy to allow a coach to take away their children for training, because that means food, housing, education and a potential bright future.
