One evening last month at an art gallery in the capital, those attending arrived and saw a wall filled with photos and pictures – both film prints and paintings – combined together in an undeniably creative and stunning presentation that conveyed a sense of many different cultures and religions overlapping.

In an art gallery in Phnom Penh there is a peaceful portrait of an elderly woman with pale skin dressed all in white that has captured the heart of many who’ve seen it, leaving them wondering about her identity and the circumstances of her life.

The 76-year-old grandmother featured in the portrait was born with albinism. Albinism is a genetic disorder that causes a lack of pigmentation in a person’s hair and skin as well as problems with their vision in many cases.
The albino grandmother in the portrait is named Por Seng. She is also known as Yey Sor – which literally translates to White Grandma – in her village of Sre Chea of Kompong Trach district in Kampot province.
