‘OCEAN LOTUS LEAF’
In every profession we can find challenges but also beauty. When the fishermen head out on the water, they hope to return with boats full of fish and shrimp out of necessity. I simply want to convey the beauty of the art of fishing with seine nets in my homeland.

‘MATRIX OF BOAT’
This image shows fishermen’s boats lined up neatly when anchored to avoid super typhoon No. 9. It was the strongest super typhoon in 30 years, hitting Quang Ngai, my hometown, causing havoc: 325 completely destroyed houses, more than 140,000 houses were damaged.
