- 'Ruins' is recognized as one of the most outstanding works of artist Uyen Huy. With a unique brushstroke and creative style, the broken figures but flying freely and unconstrained by anything, appear with bold abstraction and symbolism, prompting the audience to think about the story that has inspired the artist and from the artist’s own contemplation, the story has become a modern image presented in the form of memory fragments.
