With the help of 12 photographers, the exhibition has come to fruition and opened in the capital city of Ha Noi on August 3.
The 120 photos on show express a love for the Spratly archipelago and respect for the people and soldiers who live and protect the islands as well as the national sovereignty.
“I believe that the Spratly 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 Spratly doesn’t mean that you have to visit the islands.”
