History that I have had no part in making, defines who I am as a Vietnamese Australian/Australian Vietnamese. Cold War theories and policies have resulted in a fortunate life in Australia, which means that I have gained from the misfortunes of war. This work is an investigation into my being and that of a generation born following the Vietnam War. It analyses the relationship between those who determine war and those who have formed an identity from it.
The NPPP exhibition is selected from a national field of entries. The annual exhibition, now in its fourth year, reflects the distinctive vision of Australia's aspiring and professional portrait photographers and the unique nature of their subjects.
