After several years of refining his silk paintings, Doan Van Toi now weaves textiles, fabrics, and embroidery into his layered creations, capturing the exhibition’s philosophical heart. His art speaks of existence through the threads of textiles and weaving, echoing the cyclical flow of nature—dissolution, renewal, and reformation—rooted in Buddhist ideas of impermanence and interconnectedness. With floral fabrics, Toi crafts symbolic shapes—skeletons, skin, water, mountains, family—representing the ever-regenerating natural world, where boundaries blur and nothing is fixed.

His work invites us to embrace these cycles, release attachment to distinctions, and see the oneness in all things. The pixelated visuals in his series distort reality, concealing the work’s subjectivity. What does the artist wish us to see? Are they the happy bluebirds, or abstract notions like moral precepts? Or perhaps, before the Divine, they are one and the same?
