(Baonghean.vn) - "I - you, if you can't find a way to share with anyone, and if loneliness is tiring enough, then stand up and find a way to step out of your own small world - loneliness is scary", that is the message that the young man An An Nguyen wants to send to everyone through his photo series.
 |
| The photo series was inspired by the time An accidentally listened to the song “Soul of Stone” by the late musician Tran Lap. Realizing that the song’s lyrics were truly meaningful, An came up with a concept for a surreal photo series called “Soul of Stone”. |
 |
| An shared: "The photo series is not to commemorate the deceased, it's just that recently I accidentally listened to that song again and the lyrics and content in the song are really meaningful." |
 |
| “Anonymous living absent-mindedly, not close to anyone and far from everyone, not loving, not remembering, meaningless soul, living in exile, the sky has stars changing positions every night but rocks never cry like humans, because the soul of rocks is meaningless, only knowing themselves” (Excerpt from the song “Soul of Rock”, musician Tran Lap) |
 |
| Surrealism is a genre that originates from symbolism, placing the irrational above reason. This tendency helps people to free themselves from the “chains” of society, expressing their inner self and natural thinking, not being constrained by logic, reasoning... Surrealism always solves these problems well, which is also the reason why An chose it for the idea of his photo series. |
 |
| "Living without love, living only for oneself, the soul is always cold" |
 |
| An wants to tell young people "don't turn into stone, your soul will always be frozen" |
 |
| An An Nguyen, whose real name is Nguyen Van An (born in 1992, Hung Nguyen district), is known as the author of many famous surreal photo series, which are well received and loved by the online community. He is currently a final year student of the Industrial Design Department of Hanoi Open University. |
