Subject, objects, the girl, the artifacts, and everything in between. Captured by @nan_sapwe
"Congai" was the French transliteration of con gái, meaning girl. Over time, under colonial rule, the word was distorted and reduced to a slur, meaning prostitute.

Shot in my 50-year-old grandparents' house in Hanoi, 'Congai, con gái' tells an Indochina ghost story of how femininity being portrayed and shaped by Orientalism.

It’s been months since then. Still recovering. Still pissed I wasted my youth and energy. Not sure what the lesson is here, except maybe: just because you can survive something doesn’t mean you should lol
You. Forever Young
You may see the summer, but we see a young and free escape from this city life. A moment to breathe, to let the sun embrace your honey-brown skin and forget what time it is.
It’s not just the season — it’s a feeling. Of running a little wild, living a little softer, and carrying that freedom with you
