The trio aims to highlight the cultural value of traditional Vietnamese art forms through materials and images of the lotus. Their works convey a message of healing through the language of art, creating an open space for creativity and artistic exploration.

"The Flow" represents a meaningful convergence of three women, three artists, three generations, and three unique styles that, though different, share a common empathy.

This flow is an underlying, transparent current filled with longing and love. Through traditional materials, each piece reflects a journey in which each artist explores the rich tapestry of Vietnamese cultural heritage.

Beyond the exhibition, the artists will host interactive experiences: an installation featuring lotus artwork created by children from G-Art Studio and the "Creative Kids Club"; workshops on lotus ceramics and the symbolism of the lotus in Vietnamese culture; and a do-paper painting session with the artists, exploring self-healing through art.

The "Flow" exhibition opens on November 2 and runs until November 10, 2024, at the Vietnam Fine Arts Museum.
