Inspiration

this "Golden Hong" sculpture is based on a Khmer fairy tale about an ancient golden mythical bird: "The heroine travels on a golden, mythical bird to a parallel universe in order to find her true love. Here the girl falls in love, marries her prince, finds success, but in the end divorces her prince after she’s realized he doesn’t love her and doesn’t provide for her. By the end of the story she is fully liberated and in charge of her own life."
