This collection honors the vitality and beauty of Vietnamese culture—its traditions, stories, and spirit—while also confronting the complexities and challenges that are often overlooked. Each piece reveals the duality of heritage: the pride and joy that define it, alongside the deep struggles and unsavory truths that must be brought to light. Together, they tell a raw, honest story of what it means to belong, remember, and reckon with the past and present.
