Chapter 4: And Love
(365 Days With Project “Portraits Of Áo Dài- Hope For Peace And Love”)
Love: Each nation has its unique diversity of culture and identity. At the same time, we also have a lot in common, and Love is one of those that matter the most. Therefore, the final chapter serves as a bridge toward delving into the present and coming issues concerning culture crossing, integration, and globalization. It does so by utilizing colors, materials, and images that are familiar to all.

With this project, I hope that no matter where we are, what language we speak, or how different our colors are,
we can connect to share, sympathize, understand, and hope for peace and love.

About: 365 Days with project “Portraits Of Áo Dài- Hope For Peace And Love”
One day I was asked by many foreign friends about Áo Dài, but unfortunately, I haven’t taken many pictures of Áo Dài. Áo Dài is a special traditional dress of my country- Viet Nam
For me, Áo Dài is both an adjective and a noun. Áo Dài just evokes rustic, simple, seductive Vietnamese women and contains many memories.
Vietnamese Áo Dài is not only a kind of national dress but also contains a rich history, cultural traditions, aesthetic conceptions, national consciousness, and spirit of the Vietnamese people.
Through many changes in society and times, Áo Dài has always been a beautiful symbol of the national culture, and the pride of Vietnamese people.
The models in this photo series are mostly my friends in many different fields, they are not professional models and do not have the usual beauty of Asian models, there are people who are for the first time standing in front of the camera lens.
Thanks for watching!
