DEATH OF THE NINE DRAGONS is a design research & installation exploring the devastation of the Mekong Delta through sand mining in Vietnam.
In the installation, a fictional travel agency offers a tour that sheds light on the damaging sand mining process of the Delta. The project outlines the journey from sand to concrete that feeds the pitless hunger of the urban growth of nearby metropolitan Ho Chi Minh City.
The project was developed in conjunction with Van Abbe Museum and Design Academy Eindhoven through the GEO—DESIGN exhibition platform.
