At the age of 18, Nat* was sent to prison. During his seven years in jail, his mother was the only person who visited him. Two months after Nat was released from prison, his mother tested positive for Covid-19. She died soon after. In a letter to his late mother, Nat promised to ordain as a monk for her and never stray again.
Nat's handwritten letter to his mother and a photo of a wooden bench which was her favourite spot are featured in the photo exhibition "Closure", created by Ekkarat Punyatara, a photographer for National Geographic Thailand.
