Photographed by Eliz Le Featuring Monique Nguyen, representing Vietnam Captured at: Inala Civic Centre, Brisbane, Australia Celebrating the collective human story and the significance of cultural heritage. An artistic journey paying homage to the ancient supercontinent, embodying the interconnectedness of cultures beyond borders. With appreciation and honour, Monique is wearing the traditional Vietnamese áo dài dress, a poignant tribute to Vietnam's resilience and identity. Amidst Meanjin/Brisbane's urbanisation and post-modernism, the carefully selected location of Inala, displays the immigration journey of how cultures have adapted to modern civilisation and flourished in the embrace of a foreign land. A compelling contrast, blending their ethnic customs and landmarks, showcasing the mosaic of cultures in a multicultural nation. This is the diverse diaspora, serving as a powerful testament to humanity's enduring threads beyond geographical boundaries. "Land of Pangaea" weaves a captivating tapestry of unity, embracing the shared narrative of humanity across continents and generations.
