Trần Thảo Miên is an installation and visual artist. Mien has developed her embroidery techniques using monofilament yarn on various types of fashion waste and found natural elements. Guided by the diverse tapestry of Asian culture along with her endless curiosity of modern environmental science, Mien intertwines spiritual essence into her soft textured sculptures, embodying reverence for “Vạn vật hữu linh” - Vietnamese beliefs of the individuality and equality of every living being on Earth, she reimagines the order of nature, questioning established hierarchies that lie beyond human grasp.
