Finding Peace in Hanoi's Busy Streets Through Art

Hanoi's streets are very busy, but if you look closely, you can see the beauty in the small things. Hiền's artwork focuses on these small details and makes them stand out with bright colors.
Hiền likes to draw things like bikes carrying fruits, food carts, and vendors selling tea. She wants to show that these things are not just messy, but also beautiful. She uses gentle colors to draw them.
Hiền draws people who work on the streets, like fruit sellers and bike drivers. She doesn't draw their faces, but she uses happy colors to make the scenes look nice.
Drawing helps Hiền relax after work. She has been drawing since she was a child, but she studied something else in school. Now, she is learning art again and working at the same time.
Hiền's project 'Moment of Stillness' is about finding peace in busy streets. She started it because she felt like she was just drawing for work and not for fun. She wanted to find joy in drawing again.
Hiền started drawing simple things around her to find happiness. She drew leaves, clothes, and other everyday things. Then, she started paying attention to the streets and the people on them.
The city is trying to clean up the streets, which might be sad for people who work there. Hiền's art will help remember what the streets used to be like.
Hiền is from Hải Dương, but she has lived in Hanoi for 10 years. Drawing about Hanoi has made her pay more attention to the city.
Everyone has their own way of seeing Hanoi. For some people, a cart is a way to make a living. The streets might look messy, but they have their own rhythm.
The streets have everything: food, clothes, and even haircuts. Hiền thinks the streets are beautiful in their own way.
