According to the announcement from the Vietnam Records Organization, the work "Lotus Flower of 54 Ethnic Groups of Vietnam" was recognized as a record with the content: "The painting is the most complete colored by students of many different ethnic groups". This is considered an important milestone, recognizing the artistic value and educational significance that the "54 Ethnic Groups of Vietnam" project has pursued for more than a year.
In the photo set, Phuc Anh chose a white ao dai with a minimalist but sophisticated design, inspired by the traditional beauty of Vietnamese women. The soft shape, light material and elegant cuts help highlight the gentleness and purity. The white color of the ao dai is also considered a symbol of purity, goodness and solidarity - the core values that the project aims for.
Sharing on her personal page, Phuc Anh expressed emotion: "This record is the most meaningful gift that Phuc Anh wants to give to his colleagues. Without everyone, there would be no project and no results today." According to the female singer, the record is not only for her alone, but belongs to all the individuals who have accompanied her, even if only for a short moment.
The central highlight of the photo set is the painting "Lotus Flowers of 54 Ethnic Groups of Vietnam". In each frame, Phuc Anh seems to be in dialogue with the work - where each lotus petal carries its own color, symbolizing the cultural identity, customs, language and life of 54 brotherly ethnic groups throughout Vietnam. Lotus, a long-standing symbol of Vietnamese spirit, appears both close and meaningful for the persistent rise between differences.
Notably, the record-breaking painting will be auctioned off at the gala night summarizing the "54 Ethnic Groups of Vietnam" project. All proceeds will be used to raise scholarship funds and continue educational and charitable activities for children in mountainous areas and communities with many difficulties.
Looking back at the project journey, Phuc Anh and his team have traveled through many lands from North to South, crossing forests and streams to reach ethnic communities. Along with that are music products such as "Highland Children", "Where Are We From" and the theme song "54 Vietnamese Ethnic Groups", truthfully reflecting the life, spirit and aspirations of people in each region.
