Refugio Campamento // Refugee Camp

35mm Disposable Camera 
Parque Torres Del Paine, Dec 2014

My father wonders how I can leave everything to go here

​alone

But at this southern tip of the world,
seemingly so far from anything even remotely Vietnamese,
I see the words “Chile” and “Vietnam” in the same sentence

Viet Nam still haunts me, 
Viet Nam nudges at me from the peripheries of historical pages,

and suddenly
I know
Viet Nam will never leave me alone.
