“Grandma and Grandchild” captures a warm moment between two generations in the same house. In the rustic setting of the mountains, the grandmother skillfully guides her granddaughter to embroider patterns on traditional fabric. Her gentle smile and her granddaughter’s passionate eyes not only express her love for her family but also reflect the spirit of preserving and teaching the nation’s long-standing cultural values. The colorful costumes, each delicately embroidered pattern and traditional jewelry on the shoulders of the grandmother and grandchild contribute to portraying a vivid picture of the life, customs and identity of the ethnic minorities in the highlands of Vietnam. From that simple image, “Grandma and Grandchild” spreads a message about the connection between generations, about the pride and responsibility of young people in preserving and promoting the cultural heritage of their nation.
