Wild(flowers) in the DMV(N)
Wildflowers represent our resilience, the way we can land anywhere, and flourish. Each flower painted here is from our local DMV: the swamp rose mallow of Washington D.C., the golden ragwort of Virginia, and Virginia bluebells. Additionally, the large vibrant red flower is the Phoenix blossom, which is a significant flower from Vietnam.
Therefore, the flowers here are truly a representation of the artist Thu Anh Nguyen, a Vietnamese immigrant who has lived in the DMV for most of her life. This artwork hopes to honor all people who are transplants from other places.
