After a period of integration with the Western culture, the contemporary Vietnamese society recognized itself a spectacular rise of its own character. The period between the late 80s and the late 90s witnessed a deep integration of new Western ideology and the Internet. This generation started the journey of anti-heroic, non-identity, and non-essense "ego", which trapped itself between the non-unique and the heterogenous. Faint and lonely, it struggled to survive in an obsessive new era of globalization.
On the journey finding myself through time and place, a book/piece of art helped me resonating my personal memories and originality. Through its beauty, I found it a non-romantic, naked, and bitter reality I was facing. There was a strong tie between life and the vibration of sound, movement, and images.
