Declaration

Vietnamese Flowers was the topic that I chose for my concept-folio. I wanted to do a topic that no one or at least not many people would chose. As many people may know, I am Asian (Vietnamese). I wanted to choose a topic that would reflect my ethnicity. Most people probably only know Vietnam as the place where the Vietnam War occurred so I wanted to show that there is more to Vietnam then just where a war took place and concentrate on the more positive things in life such as nature. In my case, I chose Asian Flowers as my topic. This topic stood out to me compared to all the things that I could do about Vietnam was that there are certain flowers that only grow and stay alive around Chinese New Year’s which makes these type of flowers unique.

There are four different women in four different scenes combined to become as one picture. The name of these beautiful young women is Kim, Mai, Trang, and Hong. Kim’s situation is that she is a rich, young beautiful young woman off on the country enjoying her day. She is an elegant young woman and is dressed like a young woman should. In the second scenery, Mai is starting her day off by doing house chores outside. She is looking down upon the surroundings that surround her. She is thinking to herself that it is a nice day to be outdoors. Trang is a maid in her family. Her duty is to do the house chores. She is in a way happy to be outside but not happy to have to do chores. Hong has just finished her chores is ready to be off outdoors to enjoy her day. Enjoy what is left of the day before the next day comes and she will have to start her day of chores all over again. These beautiful young women all have a busy day ahead of them.
