SAIGON, VIETNAM 🇻🇳: WORKERS IN STRUGGLE

Published on by jacquelinemhadel
 “Công nhân đấu tranh” (Workers in Struggle), a major Ho Chi Minh City monument by Vietnamese sculptor Nguyễn Hải (1933–2012). It stands at the historic Ngã Bảy (Seven-Way Intersection) area, where Điện Biên Phủ meets the Lê Hồng Phong/Nguyễn Thị Minh Khai area.

The figure at the top raises what reads as an industrial object/tool, while the other figures push outward and upward. The idea is essentially:

individual workers → collective strength → resistance.
