Immerse & Tick

We were thrilled to take part in this year’s S’Art Festival in beautiful Battambang, Cambodia. The mural revisits a piece from Dom’s Zoetic series, which explores symbiotic relationships in nature—originally inspired by our time in Southeast Asia and reimagined here on the walls of a Buddhist temple, where themes of interconnection and symbolic animal storytelling deeply resonate. At its center stands a water buffalo, a powerful cultural emblem of strength, resilience, and the sacred bond between people and the land, surrounded by fish and a white egret that together create a metaphor for the delicate balance between earth, air, and water. A single chrome-rendered fish quietly introduces the tension between natural and industrial worlds, while sketch-like lines above the mural weave through the scene, bridging Dom’s visual styles and symbolizing the simple first steps that begin every journey.

A heartfelt thank you to Fonki for the invitation, to the many organizers who made this year’s festival possible, and to our amazing assistant Seavhuo. Most of all, our gratitude goes to Dodo—the nine-year-old neighbor who spent his days in front of the mural sketching, chatting, and lending a hand with the painting. His joy and curiosity captured the true spirit of community that this mural represents.
