Christine Rocher, Colours of Life (TRAVEL 2025)

The streets of Luang Prabang hum with the constant bustle of motorbikes, tuk-tuks, and vendors calling out, their hurried rhythm a contrast to the serene temples where golden spires glisten in the soft morning light. Monks in flowing saffron robes walk in quiet procession, their presence a reminder of stillness amid the city's movement. Beyond the temples, artisans practice the slow, deliberate craft of traditional Saa paper-making, each delicate sheet embodying patience, as sunlight filters through the leaves, casting a warm saffron glow over their work.
