Chân dung nhà điêu khắc Điềm Phùng Thị

In his portrait of Diem Phung Thi, Choe does not depict the sculptor in a realistic manner, but rather reconstructs her image using the very modular system of form that created his unique artistic language. The rounded, symmetrical, and repeating geometric units simultaneously form the face and body, while also suggesting a sculptural structure capable of infinite transformation.

The caricature here lies not in exaggerating the appearance, but in a profound association: the artist seems to be created from the very language she herself has created. Therefore, Choe not only portrays Diem Phung Thi, but also condenses her artistic identity into a symbol—where the person and the work are almost inseparable.
