In this print captured by Nguyen Huy Kham, a resident in Tranh Khuc village, outside Hanoi, Vietnam is seen meticulously arranging a pile of banh chung or rice cakes ahead of Tet. The image showcases the essence of preparation and tradition that surrounds the Vietnamese Lunar New Year festival. The close-up shot allows us to appreciate the intricate details of the banh chung packaging and its vibrant green color, which adds a festive touch to the overall composition. Although the resident remains unrecognizable, their hands are visible as they skillfully arrange each rice cake with creative precision. This photograph beautifully captures an important cultural ritual where people come together to celebrate and honor their heritage during Tet. The geometrical arrangement of the banh chung creates an aesthetically pleasing depth of field when viewed from above. The out-of-focus background hints at a bustling day filled with preparations for this significant celebration. This image serves as both documentation and decoration, showcasing how traditional customs continue to be cherished in modern times. Nguyen Huy Kham's photograph encapsulates not only the beauty but also the significance behind Tet - a time when families gather, traditions are upheld, and delicious delicacies like these banh chung take center stage on dining tables across Vietnam.
