One month on: A brief reflection

Please watch the video "Noise"

Is everything back to normal? What's the definition of normalcy anyway? One month after the May 19 incident, all is smooth on the surface -- perhaps we have even forgotten -- but underneath the carpet the cracks are real.

When we walk the street we hear chatters of joy but listen carefully, maybe the noise, the cacophony, the recalcitrant nightmare, are still audible, faint and unreal and pushed to the background. I found some footage from the Bangkok Post's multimedia department and put together this clip, as an afterthought.
