‘100 Năm Hạnh Phúc’
‘100 Years of Happiness’
At the heart of this chapter is a pair of books that mirror and respond to one another. One is shaped from my grandmother’s photographic archive, the other from my own images. The first gathers fragments of family history such as celebrations, milestones and beginnings. These photographs were originally taken by my grandmother and later arranged and designed into a book by me. The second reflects my perspective, portraying my family in the present while leaving spaces open for the future. Held together magnetically, the two books create a dialogue across time, where memory becomes both legacy and renewal.

HOME?
HOME? is an ongoing series of handmade photobooks and poems born from revisiting my photographic archive. Through fragments of encounters, places, and lived experiences, the work reflects on how memories become intertwined with love, movement, and belonging. Rather than offering a definitive answer, it keeps the question of home open—fragile, shifting, and continually rewritten with each new journey.
