"In [her] photography series, Victoria aims to capture the painful reality of being indigenous Khmer at Stanford. Titled “The Ghosts of SKA,” this series represents the four indigenous Khmer women at Stanford who are pushed out of their namesake community space and cultural organization, Stanford Khmer Association, which consists almost entirely of Sino-Cambodian students. SKA has repeatedly failed to acknowledge the differences between indigenous Khmer people and non-indigenous Cambodian people, as well as the long history of Chinese exploitation of and domination over indigenous Khmer people in Cambodia. We are the ghosts of SKA, individuals who struggled to find each other on our campus, often feeling invisible and uncounted until we met one another and created an intimate community where we validate, love, and heal one another because no one else will."
