This piece depicts a woman as the staunch support for a broken man. The contrast between the two faces is a sign of two different attitudes to accept hurdles. The womans looks are a sign of her patience despite what is going on in her head, and the Cambodian texts that cover the edges of her face indicate what these thoughts are. Here the artist invites the visitors to be witnesses to the scene and urges them to question their own values
