An-My Lê American, born Vietnam

Not on view

Lê fled her native Saigon with her family in 1975, the final year of the Vietnam War, and eventually settled in the United States as a political refugee. After receiving her MFA in 1993, she returned to Vietnam to make poignant pictures such as this lyrical composition, which has the quality of a memory or dream.
