Mountain Waits: Art from Memory
At 20 years old, Father Martin fled Communist Vietnam to reunite with his family. To capture that journey, he wrote down all he could remember in the past 40 years and created this artwork, each watercolor a cataloged memory.
Fr. Martin shares, "That is 500 sheets of paper. I painted 3,000 mountains. The repetition, that image of a mountain surrounded by the water watching over me when I was leaving behind a life that I have known for so long and I had nothing. I had nothing but hope."
