HA NOI — The last time photographer Tran Thi Thu Dong returned home after a trip to the Truong Sa Archipelago (Spratlys), she felt something very different from other assignments, so the vice chairwoman of the Department of Fine Arts, Photography and Exhibitions decided to organise a photo exhibition.
With the help of 12 photographers, the exhibition has come to fruition and opened yesterday in Ha Noi.
The 120 photos on show express a love for the Spratlys Islands and respect for the people and soldiers who live and protect the archipelago as well as the national sovereignty.
“I believe that the Spratlys Archipelago is a holy place that people hold a deep love for in their hearts," she said.
“I want to connect and spread the love. Loving the Spratlys doesn’t mean that you have to visit the islands.”
“When you love the Spratlys, you just need help other people understand more about the archipelago and the people and soldiers who protect it day and night,” said Dong.
The photographers participating to the exhibition include Vu Quoc Khanh, chairman of the Viet Nam Association for Photographic Artists, photographer Le Nguyen from Ca Mau, Thach Cong Thinh from Ha Giang, Le Quang Dung from Nghe An and Nguyen My Tra from Radio Voice of Viet Nam.
The exhibition will run until August 7 at the Exhibition House, 93 Dinh Tien Hoang Street, Ha Noi. — VNS
