Story

STEEL, BRONZE | 2018 | H620 x L1300 x W120 cm - 850 kg


I live in one of the greenest areas of Hanoi. Everyday I work in a small garden, drawing my inspiration from the shapes and colors of nature around me. 

For the Art in the Forest, among the green backdrop of the Flamingo Resort, I want to set up my piece as a way to sing praises of nature’s beauty, strength, and resilience. 

For the peice to be so sinuous and flowing, so upward-reaching, so full of life and light, it had to go through fire and a laborious process of transformation from steel and copper into vines, leaves with the natural plant shapes.

That’s my mission. That’s how I find myself in a solitude original form and beauty of the piece I created.
