Impressed at an early age by her father’s experience as a Vietnamese Airforce pilot during the war with the United States (1954–1975), the artist has developed a deeply nuanced appreciation of clouds — what they can reveal and resemble, but also what they might hide. Enchanted by her father’s majestic descriptions of flying through clouds in his plane, Tia was also frightened by his cautionary tales of clouds providing cover for enemy planes.
