RỒI MỘT NGÀY CON SẼ MẤT (SOMEDAY I WILL LOSE YOU)
In 2017, at the age of 15, I began studying abroad in Australia. With my immature thoughts at the time, I never imagined that life would take me so far from my family for so long. The project is my way of chronicling the life of my mom during the times I went back home. I have come to understand my mom more deeply, not only through the photographs but also through the time we spent together. I reflected on my family’s past, on our losses and pains, on my late father, and on the great sacrifices of a single mother who worked tirelessly to raise me and my brother alone.
Dear Mom, I hope you will always be healthy and stay by my side. I have only one wish: that we can be together for the rest of my life. In this life, I can never fully repay everything you have done for me, but I hope that in the next life, I will still be your child.
