Vietnam

The Vietnam Series explores cultural and sensory hyper-density, using the panoramic format to capture the overwhelming complexity of the contemporary Vietnamese environment.

These images are studies in visual saturation, choked with information—motorbikes, merchandise, and figures—creating a non-hierarchical composition.

The Market series analyzes Vietnam's urban and coastal centers, capturing the complex material reality of the hubs through the panoramic field's atmospheric humidity and the juxtaposition of concrete structures, nón lá, and fishing boats.

This commercial energy is formally juxtaposed with the profound stillness of the nation’s spiritual anchors. The Pagoda Courtyard provides a serene counterpoint, its architecture creating a space of formal tranquility where shadows suggest the enduring presence of history and faith.

The panoramic technique is the only adequate medium to convey the unfiltered reality of the Vietnamese street, where every square inch of the frame is utilized for commerce, transport, or spiritual practice.

The visual density is a reflection of cultural reality. By refusing to isolate a single subject, the work compels the viewer to confront the hyper-density of the present, where the sacred and the profane, the ancient and the modern, the commercial and the communal, are all inextricably woven into the fabric of the everyday.
