Photographer Lekima Hung (Nguyen Viet Hung) shared about the idea of organizing the exhibition: “I have been to many islands, on uninhabited beaches, I can still easily pick up household plastic waste with packaging in many languages of different countries. That makes me think a lot. Do we deserve this planet? What are we leaving for future generations? An ocean full of fish or an ocean full of plastic? This is the right time for us to realize that our ocean has become a common garbage dump.
[…] My camera captured areas full of trash. People, rivers writhing in trash. When the photos were shared, many places were cleaned up, and friends sent me photos of the same places, except there was no trash. I realized one thing: Only by taking action can we make a change.”
