Lorenzo passalacqua, Princesses' Fan (PEOPLE 2024)

"Princesses' Fan" is a series of four photographs capturing the beauty and simplicity of traditional Vietnamese ceremonial attire. These images feature four adolescents enjoying themselves as they pose with their fans, embodying the grace and joy found in cultural traditions. Through these photographs, I aim to convey the pleasure and contentment that can be experienced through traditional practices and the simple gestures associated with them. Each image highlights the elegance and charm of these young individuals, demonstrating that there is profound beauty in embracing and celebrating one's cultural heritage.
