Vision

Greetings,

This is my image on SpaceBook, a legendary sight. I live in Vietnam, a country in Southeast Asia. 

My brother and I dream of freedom. Are you the hunter or are you the prey?

 

My brother experimented with a filter to perceive the world with new visionary acuity.  

Saigon Trees are numbered

Sunrise City near Saigon rises from the ashes built by the labor of millions to make millions for someone else.

Vietnam is just one big amusement park filled with happy plastic toys.
