This artwork, Popha Thaiyarn (Drift Hunting) is about initiation into manhood.

When you turn 18 years old, you go through traditional practice by getting your facial hear saved by your wadthuwum (uncle). Then you get taken out to hunt for your first dugong and turtle at the end of the day, you are a man and you have been handed the traditional practice to provide for your family.
