ABOUT

After Thailand’s devastating floods of 2011, what remained were piles of sandbags—and countless stories of people who had fought against the rising water for months.

Canon brought those stories together through powerful images captured during the floods, transforming them into the “Photo Fighters Exhibition”—a tribute to the courage, resilience and fighting spirit of the Thai people.

To bring those stories back to life, actual sandbags collected from the areas where each story took place were used to recreate and commemorate the people featured in the photographs. These sandbags were transformed into sculptural installations that became a powerful symbol of the exhibition—turning what once protected people from the flood into a monument to the people who fought it.
