“Talismans” – diptych printed onto handmade paper. Arielle and I traveled hours into northwest Vietnamese countryside to meet the woman who hand makes this paper from mulberry trees growing on her property using traditional techniques. The pig and rooster are traditional subjects of Vietnamese print making. They are also talismanic tattoos, said to deliver sailors safely back to land. You can find out more about this paper making process from the Zó Project page.
