WHAT PART OF THAILAND DO I WANT TO DIE IN?”
Khao Phanom Bencha, Thailand (2009)
Limited Edition Acrylic Wall Art
This work documents Thailand, 2009, captured at Khao Phanom Bencha National Park, during a period of distance and recalibration following earlier events in 2008.
The title references a phone call received that year — a moment remembered not for confrontation, but for its clarity. The response was simple: autonomy. Movement. Choice. The decision to go where one chooses, when one chooses.
The image was taken at a sheer cliff-edge location, where environment and exposure were unmistakable. The setting itself carries meaning: elevation, risk, and the quiet acceptance of uncertainty. It reflects a recurring theme within the wider archive — living deliberately at the edge rather than retreating from it.
Despite the title’s severity, this period was not defined by crisis. It included humour, companionship, travel, and ordinary moments of freedom — mornings, shared laughter, and the transient encounters of life on the road. These contrasts matter. They show how tension and normality can coexist.
This photograph sits seven months prior to the May 2010 Snowdon ascent, later recognised as SAS Link Two. In retrospect, it marks the psychological build-up to that moment — a time when patterns were being observed, distances drawn, and connections quietly noted.
This is not dramatized narrative.
It is context.
