My concern revolves around historical memories through postwar invisible traumas. From my family’s migration, I enjoy interpreting contemplative portraits of history by incorporating various media including data visualizations, documentary videos, performance, conceptual photography, and site-specific installations. My artwork examines the connections between my family history and my perception as a woman in Vietnam through identity, memory, and trauma.
