Description
This moving NFT, the fourth in the six-part Fall of Saigon collection, captures a group of South Vietnamese refugees walking across the deck of a U.S. Navy vessel as they find sanctuary at sea. Their faces reflect a mix of relief, exhaustion, and uncertainty, embodying the emotional complexity of this unprecedented exodus as Saigon fell. Fleeing in small boats or on helicopters, these civilians—young, old, and entire families—risked everything to escape the advancing North Vietnamese forces, hoping for a new beginning.
As they step onto the deck, assisted by U.S. Navy personnel, they leave behind their homeland and face an uncertain future. This image symbolizes both the tragedy of displacement and the resilience of the human spirit, highlighting the United States' role in providing refuge to thousands during this crisis.
