Darah Trang’s Parents Fled Vietnam after the War

Darah was born on October 21 into a world made better through the hard sacrifices of her parents. After the war, they fled Vietnam with her eldest sister still in nappies and made the dangerous trek to Canada. The photographer explained:

“My parents were successful in providing that for me and the rest of my siblings. It was not always easy, but the struggles came with the sanctuary they searched for.”

The Canadian-Vietnamese Libra moved to New York in 2016, where she was awarded her BFA in Photography at the School of Visual Arts in May 2019. Before her graduation, Darah shared a poignant study of hands and a loving caption:

“I find so much beauty in photographing hands. Woven through age, experiences, gestures, and wrinkles, there are stories. These two are especially important to me. Not only are they a portrait of love and mental illness, but they are also a display of a well-lived life.”

She had a deep bond with her father-in-law, Ed, who died in 2020. He did not recognize his wife, Nancy Smith, or Darah when he was placed in a facility as his dementia decreased in 2019, but in a moment of clarity, he thanked her for taking care of Smith.
