Daydreaming in an Open Land

My drawings and paintings document how I grew into my Vietnamese-American identity. In my work, I reflect on themes of growth, integration, and reconciliation. These paintings combine Eastern and Western traditions of depicting nature to describe a space that is as much emotional as it is physical. This space, at once thunderous, mysterious, and hopeful, mirrors the refugee experience of creating a new home in a foreign land.
