Sakhon Nhek is a photographer, floral designer and artist. She was also born in the refugee camps of Thailand like many other Cambodian immigrants to America.

In this interview with Khmerican, she explains how photography helps her deal with her tumultuous past, overcome cultural barriers and explore her spirituality. She also shares four of her pieces: Kiwi Spine, Genesis, Trumpet and Noki.
