The Silent Duet (Series)
DESCRIPTION
Created in-camera as a double exposure, The Silent Duet emerged spontaneously during a portrait session with Linh Do, an aspiring Vietnamese model living in the Netherlands. As two Asian creatives in a Western space, the mirrored image reflects the tension between our shared roots and cultural contrast.
