Letters, Gia Đình Ba, 2025

The watermark carries the trace of my father’s handwriting from the letters we have exchanged over the years. Paper is an ever-changing impermanence, degrading over time as the stories carries on. I find this direct relationship to making paper as a way for me to connet with the past through the inherent knowledge that has been passed down through my hands.

Through this, I also carry the stories of my parents and the legacies of their culture and identity as a materiality. The paper becomes the material medium to carry this history forward.

Work exhibited in conjunction with Holding, Memories Kepy, Mememtos Kindled at Art at the Kent, Calais. Vermont.
