Tuan Andrew Nguyen transforms 57mm shells

“These are 57-millimeter shells that we found in our research, used during the American War in Vietnam. And we found that they had a really beautiful resonance.”

Working in his studio, Tuan Andrew Nguyen (@tuan.andrew.nguyen) gives new life to the unexploded ordnance that have been buried across the Vietnamese countryside, transforming them into carefully crafted sculptures.

“We'll make these mobile elements out of the same material, essentially turning objects and material that were meant to destroy and kill and maim to healing objects.”
