Commentary

Hoo boy this one gets in the way of the limitations I gave myself. No real colors and the limited space makes fitting a lot of detail a pain. I like the bits of the composition and might come back but with colors galore and some space to spread things out.

As dusk falls, Chiang Mai, Thailand’s second-largest city, will be filled with light and magic for the splendid Yi Peng Festival. This deeply symbolic festival represents the act of letting go of negativity and opening up to new beginnings, and is celebrated during the full moon of the second month of the ancient Lanna calendar. It highlights the release of the “khom loi”, the iconic floating paper lanterns that, as they rise, transform the night sky into an ocean of golden lights. In addition, the streets are decked out in vibrant parades, traditional dances and exquisite festive decorations, creating a truly unique atmosphere.
