Luke’s aim, however, is not to produce masterpieces: he finds rather than creates.

This apparent weakness has been transformed here into a power. The totality of the works combine together – that is the photographer and his camera symbiotically merge into the subject – much as Ramkhamhaeng University binds itself with its multitude of diverse students, creating something unique not only to Thailand, but the entire world.

This portrait, while not being of one individual, nevertheless speaks volumes of the men and women from all walks of life that challenge themselves to sit in the empty classrooms Luke documents. And like any good portraiture it reveals the character of the subject, an institution as open to the Everyman as is the camera itself, a device that requires no special artistic training to liberate and communicate.
