Hey everyone :)
This is a video I made about the life and story of a Sak Yant artist from Siem Reap, Cambodia.
Sak Yant tattoos were introduced to the world centuries ago by the time of the Khmer empire. Since then, the art has been passed down in a lineage for many generations, from teacher to students, requiring many years of study and practice. Sak Yant Tattoos are very intricate, aesthetic and each element will have a specific meaning for the wearer.
In May 2022, I spent a day with Sombath Sakk, from Federation Khmer Sak Yant to learn more about the story of Sak Yant and also about his everyday life.

Teacher PlusThat was perfect! From the flow of the images, the beginning as a summary of the piece, the character’s introduction and the clear explanation of the craft with the personal insights from the protagonist. Very nice quality also, and the pace with the music were a perfect choice. Congratulations!
