The Gates of Soi Ari Sampan Song - Bangkok

This series of cutaways from 2013 was based on a particular street in Bangkok called Soi Ari Sampan Song. The street is residential with high, continuous walls along its entire length. The only breaks in the wall are the ornate gates which open into each house. Every gate has a unique design and most are painted with bright colors. I was inspired by the design and variations of these gates so I started taking photos of each of them as I walked along the street. Later, the photos became a series of 11 paper cutaways, approximately 4" x 6" in size.
