Binh Danh explores how farming communities adapt in response to the landscapes they encounter. Through portraiture and landscapes, he illustrates the paths people carved from Vietnam to the United States.

“As a Vietnamese-American child growing up in California, the camouflage uniform worn by actors in Vietnam War Hollywood movies haunted me in the innocence of my child’s mind; the color green was associated with war, military, death, and Agent Orange deforestation. Later in my adult life, Vietnamese culture's greenness was redeemed in my mother's garden, where Asian organic vegetables were grown to make the delicious Vietnamese meals that nourished my siblings and me.”
