Luu An, painting for MPRJ Issue #62, 2025
The series of paintings originates from the artist’s concern for migrant workers and homeless people. Referencing real-life images, historical events, and popular culture, the works send the dreams of these individuals, their bodies, and the vehicles they use (at once tools for survival and instruments in their search for life) up to the clouds as a reminder of their plight and of how easily their stories are forgotten.
