The winning series of photos, themed “Filled Nostalgia”, depict memories of the photographer’s mother – Assoc. Prof. Le Thi Duc Hanh – for her dead husband – researcher of folk theatre Tran Viet Ngu. 

The old lady’s nostalgia for her husband is described through the photos of the things that remind her of him – “ao dai”, the Vietnamese traditional tunic she wore on their wedding day in 1965, his love letter to her during wartime, his old typewriter and more.

The photos were part of Viet Van’s personal project, named “My mother” (Part 2).

The award ceremony will take place at the end of this year in Bangkok, Thailand.
