My monument can be seen as a depiction of the inner conflict that Vietnamese women struggle with during this time of modernisation and globalisation combining the potential for more personal choice with the pain of self-liberation.

I have built a conic-shaped tent, a monument for Vietnamese women using round aluminium trays, the traditional tool used for serving meals. This monument reflects colours of the sky changing in sunlight, electric light, and when it rains, it can describe the sensibility and per-severance of Vietnamese women facing daily challenges. It also resonates as the trays tease each other when the wind blows, an audible monument.

The similar pattern round the trays create an image of monotony, which is seen as “perfect” for the routine of a traditional women. I invite people to explore the inside of the “hut” to find out about the most intimate aspirations of these women being imaged by one hundred nude female figures flying in spite of the restriction imposed by conditioning. This may be seen as a depiction of the inner conflict that Vietnamese women are struggling with in these days of modernisation and globalisation combining the potential for more personal choice with the pain of self-liberation.
