Trúc-Anh

INK KINGDOM is an evolving series of ghostly portraits by Trúc-Anh, developed since 2010, where a multitude of pictorial languages collide and transform. Conceived as an extension of this universe, INK KINGDOM , Vol. 1 brings together 88 selected works alongside texts by 8 invited writers, forming a compact and enigmatic journey through inner landscapes. By blurring authorship, time cultural references, the project weaves together image, poetry and experimental typography into a fluid, ever-changing narrative that celebrates connection through difference.
