There are many art photography works that focus on a single country but only a dozen or so dealing specifically with its people (The Americans, Chinese, Cubans, Germans, Indians, Italians, Palestinians, Tibetans). This project humbly endeavors to introduce the Vietnamese. It thus took me 35 trips to 20 countries over 20 years (1997-2017) for completing a 100-photo series that is deemed to symbolize both the Vietnamese and their diasporas in the world. I am currently looking for sponsors worldwide to publish the multimedia "zixbook" and to promote this damn crazy project through exhibitions.
