Viet Ha Tran - Symphony in your hands II

Fine Art Photography, 2014

From the series Remembrance of the Shattered Dreams (2013 – present)

Part of Viet Ha Tran’s acclaimed underwater series, widely published in international art and fashion magazines, this work explores the fragile space between emotion and memory.

Suspended in water, the figure drifts between presence and disappearance. Flowers, fabric, and gesture unfold slowly, revealing a quiet tension between longing and acceptance, pain and transformation. Each image captures a fleeting, unrepeatable moment—both sensual and introspective—where beauty emerges from vulnerability.

“Wisdom tells me I am nothing.
Love tells me I am everything.
Between the two my life flows.”
— Nisargadatta Maharaj
