Dong Thap, Southern Vietnam

An-My Lê American, born Vietnam
1994
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.
