Bui Thanh Tam Artist Talk About The Symbolized Images

Bui Thanh Tam Artist talks about the symbolized images in his “Abandoned by Heaven” collection:
“Child and pet are usually depicted together
Yet upon growing up, the child will take off her/his baby necklace and run away to pursue new interests.

Peach blossoms signify a new spring, bringing us bright hopes for the future. Yet the intentionally repetitive images of a dry branch forced to a standard shape make us think: growing a culture by destroying tradition without inheritance, such culture is similar to a dried out tree in full bloom – an abnormal development, contrary to the laws of nature.
