Artist of Mekong project aims to interrogate the environmental message regarding the endangered wildlife and extinction of the life under water in Mekong through digital art in which 19 artists have wholeheartedly involved in the project.
Seang Chhayly is a leader of this Artist of Mekong project. He has become the YEA member since 2016 due to his interests and commitment in raising environmental awareness. His passion has grown after joining a number of YEA programs and meeting with many Green people whose passion is quite similar as his. Through this project, he has shown his enthusiasm in taking the artistic approach to convince people in realizing the importance of the Mekong River and how the lives in this river has been threatened.
“Million tons of plastic and waste are being pulled in the river, Million and millions of underwater and wildlife near the river are being died because of eating those dumbs. How could we stand still? We cannot just go and stop people, but we can persuade people by sharing their loves onto wildlife and Mekong River using our cute and super adorable characters…” said Chhayly.
