Uncovering the beauty beneath the conical hat
VietNamNet Bridge - The conical hat and silk scarf worn by Vietnamese women for centuries have come to symbolise feminine beauty, a virtue currently being celebrated at a photography exhibition in Hanoi. Some 15 black-and-white works by photographer Tran Huy Hoan serve to strip the ubiquitous conical hat of its traditional setting to exposing the soft, feminine beauty beneath. Like much of his work, these dramatic images use the female form to examine the juxtaposition of the traditional and the modern, the icon and the individual, and most of all, Viet Nam's complex cultural identity. There's perhaps no single more enduring image of Viet Nam than the conical hat: it appears in fields, on bicycles, at markets, sometimes in rows and sometimes alone. But no matter where it is encountered, one thing never changes, there is always a woman underneath.
