After a long time of nurturing, author Hoang Thi Bich Thao officially introduced to the public the exhibition and launched the photo book "Source of Life" at the Youth Cultural House, Ho Chi Minh City. The event marked a turning point in the author's journey of more than a decade pursuing light and moments attached to the sun.
The exhibition collects photos selected from many years of traveling through the forest, ocean, bustling city and remote lands.
For Hoang Thi Bich Thao, sunlight is not simply a visual element, but also reflects the voices in the soul, carrying positive energy and inspiration to life.
The female author said that the journey of "hunting" for the sun taught her patience and gratitude. I may not keep that moment forever, but I keep the emotions, she shared and believed that each frame comes from the harmony of light, time and fate. After ten years of following the sun, she realized that there are most beautiful moments that are not in brilliance, but in peace when light touches the clouds, water or the voice of the human heart.
Talking about the process of creating "Source of Life", author Hoang Thi Bich Thao said that the works in the book do not come from arrangement, but from unexpected meetings of nature. Not everything needs to be clear to be beautiful. The clouds can disappear, the waves can be quiet, people can go, but the moment is real - enough," she contemplated.
Mr. Doan Hoai Trung - Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City photography Association - assessed that the series of works by Hoang Thi Bich Thao use light as an "inner language". According to him, the female author does not seek brilliant beauty but focuses on the calmness and fragile moments that nature gives. In particular, the "Flowers of the clouds" is considered by him to be a testament to the artist's intuition and the patience of the person who is a coward in capturing a rare moment.
All proceeds from the sale of books during the three days of November 28 to 30 will be donated to the people of the Central region to overcome the damage after floods.
