PROJECT INFO
The series is a visual journey into the human body, seeking answers to the connection between origin and creativity. It is also served as a personal dissection of identity. While the artist may not know exactly what she has been inherited genetically, she recognizes that her creativity carries traces of Vietnamese identity.

Outcome
The series consists of five artworks, each representing a different aspect of the Vietnamese gene: The brain (creative thinking), The head (self and ego), The heart (emotion and passion), The hands (action and making), and The feet (movement and journey). The artist utilises a hand-cut, layered technique as a meditative artistic process, reflecting an inward act of self-examination. Through each cut and layer, she searches for Vietnamese identity embedded within her creativity.
