Yearning For The Sky, Gliding Between The Vast Spaceis a photographs taken while I was on the plane flying from Bangkok’s Don Mueang International Airport to Ho Chi Minh City. That day, the feather clouds in the sky covered the city below. The blurry landscape I saw made me feel like I was flying over the ocean with moving waves shaped by the wind. That was the first picture of Ho Chi Minh City from my firsthand experience.

During my excursions in the city, I encountered many sites that were under construction to facilitate the urban expansion. These sites varied from a single-detached house to tenement buildings, or even a vast land that once stood a factory. I collected fragments of demolished buildings that scattered the grounds.
I present these ‘pebbles’ collected from my exploration around the city in a representational form. It is a three-dimensional object made from pencil on thin paper to resemble the original matter. While it imitates the rock’s physicality that appears hard and durable, the reproduced object’s material is actually frail and fragile. The object is presented together with a drawing of the latitude and longitude coordinates of where I obtained the original matters.
