Afternoon in Bac Son

About the artwork

I came to Bac Son when the weather was early in the autumn with a slight chill of the wind, at night the weather was low and fortunately the days I was here were sunny at noon and afternoon. Here I live in Quynh Son commune, going deep into each zigzag alley from one village to another, like being lost in a maze of stilt houses. Many stilt houses of the Tay people in Quynh Son still retain their identity. The roof of the house on stilts is covered with yin and yang tiles. I was attracted and captivated by this very “antique” beauty when I happened to come across a house carved with a layer of clothing in the afternoon sun. Everything is so peaceful here….
