information/contact

Saigon, 2016-2023 (Book in process)

 
thomas t. tran (b. 1992, idaho) was born to immigrant parents—his father, who accidentally arrived in the u.s. by boarding the wrong boat, and his mother, who unknowingly lived just across a bridge from him in saigon.
tran’s artistic practice unintentionally extends from the serendipity of his father’s journey, exploring the fluid space between life and death.studio@thomastytran.com
