Flower Lo Lo - Ha Giang, Vietnam

In Vietnam's far north, near its border with China, you will find the Flower Lo Lo. Distinguished by their colorful dress, it can take up to a year to create this hand-stitch costume by hand. The skill and technique required to make has been passed down from mothers to daughters for generations.

About Artist

Matt Sievers

Hey, I'm Matt. Hailing from the Pacific Northwest (USA) but based in Vietnam, I am a travel, documentary and fine art photographer focused on capturing the beauty of Vietnam, SE Asia, the US West and beyond. More than the places you go, it is hopefully the people you meet along the way, calling each one home, that leaves the greatest impression. For me, that has always been the true gift of travel: people, and the authentic interactions and conversations you keep with you from those journeys. It is often on those same travels, and through the same interactions and experiences with others, that I find myself imagining just how easily our lives could be switched—that my life could be theirs, and theirs mine? That idea remains a constant source of fascination to me, and a key driver of my creative interest and work.
