Dressed in the style of Thailand's Akha people, a girl smiles sweetly. Oraphat depicts the charming child in bright colors and naïf style. The Akha hill tribe lives in Thailand's northern hills. This is a proud and timeless culture, struggling to preserve its ancestral values through their traditional skills and knowledge. Akhas believe in continuity and see themselves as a link in the chain of life, which includes birth, procreation, the preservation of the Akha way of life – which venerates family life – and death, seen as a meeting with their ancestors.
