Who are we?
But it is a concept images very different far from documentary images in three parts before.
During my journey, I have met many monks, chatting and photographing them.
I had the close look at the faces of monks and realized a thing. The boundary between Dharma and life is very fragile. “Greed, Hatred and Delusion” is great obstacle, which all of monks have to overcome on their path to Buddha..
And I look back at my own face. Look deeply to understand myself clearly , to know my limit. And try to answere the old question: Who are we, Where do we come from, Where are we going, in my private way.

entry description
This series named “Who are we?” belong to “Dharma and Life” project, which started from 2006 and exhibited three times at Viet Nam and Singapore.But it is a concept images very different far from documentary images in three parts before.
During my journey, I have met many monks, chatting and photographing them.
I had the close look at the faces of monks and realized a thing. The boundary between Dharma and life is very fragile. “Greed, Hatred and Delusion” is great obstacle, which all of monks have to overcome on their path to Buddha..
And I look back at my own face. Look deeply to understand myself clearly , to know my limit. And try to answere the old question: Who are we, Where do we come from, Where are we going, in my private way.
