for my dad, my mom, my big brother, my little brother. i don’t know how to say nor express how much i love you. so, i guess this is it. i am grateful for you, for all your love and support. your son, your brother, Duc Anh
hello
first of all, thank you for making your way to the second page. wait, is this the third page? anyway, i have always talked about creating a book. i didn’t know what kind of book it would be. my writing is terrible. my photography skill is subpar. my graphic sense is mediocre. my architecture knowledge and experience is not significant to ever give me enough confidence to talk about it.
just kidding, i’m awesome.
what is this book about?
a journey. a collection of stories. a bank of thoughts. a medium that i can project my dreamy, vaguely intellectual version of my myself.
why would you name your book ace?
that is actually my english name. i called myself ace. i told my friends to call me ace. i asked my professor to call me ace, as they give me a b+ for most of my classes. not even an a-. i want to use my name for this book for three reasons. first, even though i own that name, i still feel as if it is a recreation of my identity, an image that i paint. not necessarily an imitation, but a genuine version for the creativity in me. second, i want to hold myself responsible for it, therefore, i would feel ashamed if i became lazy. lastly, i honestly could not think of a cooler name.
so, please, enjoy the fruit of my 25 years procrastination.
yeah, i’m also kind of funny.
there are patterns. i see curves. i see straight edges. i see still. i see movement. i see with my eyes open. i see with my eyes close.
