hiểu không?

Graphic Design
2020
A 2 part zine that focuses on diaspora and my identity as a Vietnamese-Canadian.

“The title, "Hiểu Không?" is a question my parents ask me as they explain something in Vietnamese. In which I answer “không hiểu” or “con hiểu”. The first half reflects on my upbringing in Toronto, which is in response to “không hiểu” (I don’t understand). The second half follows, “con hiểu” (I do understand) as I reflect on my one-month trip journey across Việt Nam this past summer. The overall reflections are memories of childhood, the Vietnamese refugee story, the loss of a first language; while gaining an appreciation for Việt Nam and my parents' sacrifices.”
