Dara Sokun
a stilted house over the Tonle Sap, Cambodia
Dara Sokun, once a spirited young mechanic, found his heart and home by the gentle sways of the Tonle Sap. Years ago, a bolt from above knocked him over as he fiddled with faulty wiring, leaving him with an uncanny sniff of copper before any storm. Now, running a merry-go-round by the riverbank, he treasures the echoes of his past, particularly the creak of a long-gone screen door, shared with cousins in a sun-washed village, forever worrying over the well-being of his rides and the laughter of children.
