This year I unearthed about 200 old photos of my family that were secretly tucked away. Một Mái Nhà translated as “One Roof” in Vietnamese, traces precious memories of my family's journey from war-torn Vietnam to dreamy Australia.

It is a timeless narrative of courage, sacrifice and the pursuit of a better tomorrow. This project is very special to me as growing up there were always gaps of information in my families past life that made sharing painful. Through sitting down with my parents and grandparents, new stories were bought to the surface and ultimately it strengthened my relationships and identity.
