Đền Ngọc Sơn

In Ngoc Son Temple, Hoang Tich Chu does not recreate the scenic landscape in a realistic way, but organizes the space as a realm of cultural memory rich in poetic quality. The images of the temple, the red bridge, the ancient trees, and the lake are condensed into a backdrop for three young women playing music and singing, making the scenery and people blend into a gentle rhythm. The characteristic red, gold, and deep brown tones of lacquer create an atmosphere that is both ancient and radiant, while the flat shapes and soft lines evoke the elegance of traditional art. Viewers are placed in a moment of tranquility, where music seems to connect people with the scenery and the past. Through this, the work opens up a discourse on the beauty of Hanoi as a harmonious blend of architectural heritage, nature, and spiritual life.
