More than 100 years ago, 1912 in specific, Han Nom (A set of letters that adapted from Chinese Kanji) replaced the Kanji and became national language in Vietnam.

 

During this period, many countries entered Vietnam, brought along cultures, people, and materials. A part of it adapted to Vietnam’s meanwhile culture and changed the nature of Vietnamese. And then when the Vietnamese realized the changes, it caused a conflict among the society, as well as inside their heart.

 

I used the materials that come from Vietnam such as the soil, paper, glue, etc… to create the flags from the countries that entered Vietnam and once were a part of things that changed Vietnam’s people and culture.
