The painting “Cover of Future” is a watercolor painting on traditional Vietnamese silk, depicting a gaunt ancient tree with its roots submerged in polluted water, with a gloomy sky above. Every line and color tells the story of the Earth’s struggle with pollution and human indifference.

The delicate details in the work not only depict the natural beauty but also evoke deep thoughts about the future, reminding people of their responsibility to protect the living environment. Despite the dark tones, the painting still contains a small ray of light - a symbol of hope that humanity will soon awaken and change. The overall style of the work is similar to the famous painter Van Gogh - who is famous for his ability to express the deep nature of the subject, beyond what we see on the surface.

She shared: “Since childhood, my father has instilled in me a love for nature, the environment, and the village where I was born. I love the movements of the Youth Union because each movement spreads love for the country. I hope that the messages from my paintings will contribute to the youth union members to light the fire of love for the environment and protect the earth; At the same time, spread the unique cultural and spiritual values of the Vietnamese people to friends around the world, as President Ho Chi Minh once wished.”
