Your grandparents left Vietnam during the war. I was born in a refugee camp. On the other hand, you have grown up in Australia. Your lives have been shaped by opportunities and stability that we didn’t always have. I am so grateful for that. But sometimes I think about what gets lost along the way. In our culture, red is a very important colour. It represents luck, prosperity, and celebration. It’s what we wear at weddings, what we use during Lunar New Year, and what we associate with good fortune. These folded pieces hold that meaning. They are small, but they carry a history—one that has been passed down, even if it looks a little different now. I know your lives will not look the same as mine, and that’s okay. I don’t expect you to hold onto everything exactly as it was. But I do hope you keep some of it with you. Because even the smallest pieces can still carry where you came from. Love always, Mummy xo\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Artist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCatherine Nguyen-Hoang is a contemporary artist whose paintings begin with something real—a gesture, a shadow, a memory. She paints the familiar not to distort it, but to reveal the deeper stories they quietly hold.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Catherine Nguyen-Hoang","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47556874305687,"sku":null,"price":2500.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0578\/6835\/3687\/files\/Fortune_Folded_A-catherinenguyen-hoang.jpg?v=1774419509","url":"https:\/\/www.thetoowoombagallery.com\/products\/catherine-nguyen-hoang-fortune-folded","provider":"The Toowoomba Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
