About the exhibition

For OzAsia 2025, we are excited to present alONEness - một, a new exhibition of sculptures and installations by Vietnamese artist Dai Trang Nguyen.

Developed through our Kayangan Residency, with support from donors Geoff Martin and Sorayya Mahmood Martin, the exhibition explores identity, connection, and the spaces between, using mindfulness as a compass. một, meaning “one” in Vietnamese, reflects Dai Trang’s journey through aloneness, loneliness, and oneness.  The work flows from a place of authenticity and vulnerability, where the tension between solitude and connection becomes visible.

Through large-scale textile-based sculptures, she transforms the gallery into a multifaceted environment. The installation embodies the solidity of being alone, the struggles of isolation and the universal longing for connection. It invites viewers to reflect on their own experiences of being alone and together, offering a quiet moment of shared understanding amidst life’s chaos.
