Hundreds Arrived, One Survived

THANG DO
Yarra Sculpture Gallery Melbourne

Prize Winner Sculpture Now 2024

To all my diasporic friends. To all the visa changes. And to all the struggles.

The figure embodies the pilgrimage of resilient immigrants everywhere endeavouring to secure a better chance in life. A journey so harsh and precarious that started with hundreds of dreamers, now only one stands. That one standing imbues within them great passion, ferocity, and empathy. They now dare to stare back at the force that is fate.
