Though the temples of Angkor Wat have some amazing stone carvings, contemporary sculpture in the country has not been widespread. But a group of 14 young Cambodian sculptors wants to change that. They currently have 26 pieces of modern stone sculptures on display at a new exhibition hall at the Royal University of Fine Arts in Phnom Penh.
