Household rituals in the neighbourhood of Cẩm Châu in Hội An, where I spent two weeks living with a family. Here, grandmothers sweep the sidewalk of an afternoon once the beating sun has set beyond the tree line. They tidy fallen flower petals and debris from the day, ensuring their home is prim and proper. In contrast, the simple waste collection system means general waste is left on the sidewalk in plastic bags, sometimes torn and spilling open. Recycling has not historically been encouraged and single-use plastic consumption is high. Plastic accounts for 80 percent of waste found on 30 beaches in Việt Nam.

Environment
For every print ordered, I will plant a tree in Australia on your behalf through One Tree Planted. One Tree Planted is currently working with local partners in New South Wales to restore wildlife habitat and protect native trees species after the unprecedented damage caused by the wildfires of early 2020. By supporting this reforestation project, you are rebuilding a healthy, climate-resilient ecosystem for koalas and other wildlife, while also ensuring the survival of endemic plants. One Tree Planted aims to plant over six million trees across the country in 2020.
