“Through the Gate”, from Echoes of Vietnam Series by Minh Dam

A father and his son — two lives connected by the quiet thread of generations. This painting captures a symbolic moment of passage: the father leads his son toward Khuê Văn Các, the iconic gate of the Temple of Literature in Hanoi — a revered symbol of education, knowledge, and Confucian tradition. This is more than a physical path; it is a spiritual journey of responsibility, care, and transformation. The artist honors the father's role as a guide, shaping his child with love and purpose along the path of learning and values.
