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 pictures focus on one thing at a time, like a bike with fruits or a food cart, and she makes them look nice with her art.
Hiền likes to draw things like bikes with fruits, food carts, and vendors selling tea. She wants to show that these things are not messy, but rather a part of the city's life. She uses gentle colors to make them look nice.
Hiền's pictures are of people who work on the streets, like fruit sellers and bike riders. She doesn't draw their faces, but she uses happy colors to make the scenes look nice. She wants to celebrate these small moments.
Drawing helps Hiền relax after work. She has been drawing since she was a kid, 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 the busy streets. She started it because she felt like she was just doing her job without feeling happy. She wanted to draw for herself and find joy in it again.
Hiền started drawing simple things around her, like leaves and clothes. She wants to find beauty in everyday things. She began to pay attention to the streets and the people on them.
It's a hard time for people who work on the streets because the city is trying to make them cleaner and safer. Hiền's project will help remember what the streets used to be like.
Hiền is from Hải Dương, but she has been living in Hanoi for 10 years. Making art about Hanoi has made her appreciate the city more.
Hiền thinks that everyone sees Hanoi differently. For some people, a cart is a way to make a living. The streets may look messy, but they have their own rhythm.
