The "Lang" exhibition, now open in Ho Chi Minh City, invites viewers into a realm where nature appears not merely captured - but deeply felt. Featuring the work of 10 photographers, the collection renders landscapes with painterly elegance and emotional resonance.

The exhibition brings together artists Dang Hoai Anh, Nguyen Thanh Dung, Hoang Le Giang, Pham Tuan Ngoc, Tran Thang Nhat, Hoang The Nhiem, Hoang The Phong, Shing Chan, Lam Xuan Tung, and American photographer Tom Hricko.

Each artist brings a unique aesthetic, yet they converge on a shared sensitivity - toward light, composition, and abstraction. Here, nature is not a subject to be documented, but a medium through which personal inner landscapes are painted.

In "Lang", the familiar boundaries between photography and painting fade away. Rather than offering literal representation, the images evoke sensations - an ambient hush, a gentle drift, a tremor of solitude.

From melting snowfields to the silent stirrings of a lake at dawn, or a lone branch suspended in vast stillness, the works provoke not recognition, but emotion.

Forms dissolve: branches, stones, and water lose their sharp edges, blurring into spectral bands of color and tone. The viewer, unmoored from a fixed vantage point, drifts along a nonlinear stream of visual memory.

Fog, mirrors, and diffused glass introduce layers of reflection, making each frame feel both intimate and infinite.

Photographer Pham Tuan Ngoc, speaking on behalf of the organizing team, shared that holding the exhibition at the threshold of the new year was a deliberate choice.

It serves as a quiet invitation to look back on the emotional arc of 2025 - a year of bright peaks and subdued valleys, of exuberance and introspection. These lived experiences, he said, compose a life rich with feeling and inner depth.

Selected works from the exhibition include:
