Nguyen will graduate from Wake Forest University with a sociology and studio art double major, and with distinction as a Presidential Scholar in Visual Arts as well as a Dingledine Arts Scholar. Her sociological studies inspire her to think about the way that art, especially photography, operates in a socio-cultural context. Much of her work in this exhibit as well as in her artistic career is guided by her identity as a Vietnamese-American woman, forcing her to explore and acknowledge not only the intent but also the impact of the photographic medium in the everyday lives of people. Her work has been featured in Photographer’s Forum, FotoDC, and presented at the START Gallery for student exhibitions.
