This painting featured on the cover is called “That Red One Is A Noodle House,” included in her new body of work, “Aiii Sài Gòn Hông?” (Translates: “Saigon, anyone?”), which invites the audience to take a glimpse into the vivid everyday life in contemporary Vietnam through a perspective of a Saigon local.
