Sharing about the inspiration for the work, Mr Nguyễn Văn Thắng (one member in group) said: To make better space in front of the house, Ms Nguyễn Thị Oanh ask the group for a painting. Then, surpirsed with the “new wind” brought to the alley by the painting, nearby household support the group continúe to draw in surrounding walls.
