French photographer Clément Briend combines installation and photography to yield brilliant results. The series, titled "Cambodian Trees," shows deities from Cambodia projected onto leaves, making a cultural and spiritual statement. In speaking of the project, he says,

"It’s a beautiful surprise when the projected spirits awaken and reveal themselves at night as though they are made of the towering trees themselves. The photographic light installations echo the spirituality of the few sprouts of nature in the predominantly urban landscapes. It is a visual imagining of the divine figures that inhabit the world, as seen through an environmentally aware spiritual eye."
