Le Hien Minh

Created the work Various Hearts (from her Five Questions series), featuring input from Fukuoka audiences. Le began by creating five sculptures of women using traditional Vietnamese zhou paper, and displayed these at Myorakuji Temple during the Hakata Old Town Marugoto Museum event. Visitors were invited to submit their response to five questions on ‘what does it mean to be a woman’, writing their answers on small round pieces of zhou paper, which were then fixed onto the sculptures.
