Where Stories Begin
I'm Leakhena Ly, founder of APSARA L.L., based in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
Through my work and travels across different countries, I began to realize how little the world truly knows about Cambodia — beyond what has been told before.
That realization became my direction.
Through storytelling, art, and music, I share a vision rooted in Cambodian identity and shaped by a global journey — bringing emotion, culture, and human connection to life.
A Cambodia not only remembered for its past, but recognized for its beauty, creativity, and voice today.
