Lines of Green, Terrace Heights at Dusk

In Mu Cang Chai, a Hmong family in the far distance finishes any final work they hope to do on the terrace heights before nightfall. Within a week or two these greens will turn to gold and it will be time to harvest. The serene beauty of the scene betrays in many ways all the work that is to come.

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.
