Her works are witnesses of the times. The artist believes that the desperate struggle to exist is reflected in the behaviour and origins of a people. Thuy expresses the anguish of the desperate, trampled and forgotten. The social, environmental and cultural neglect and exploitation that leave only mute echoes.

Thuy emphasizes the use of traditional materials such as silk and lacquer as the focal point, to seek new expressive possibilities for contemporary storytelling. Through the manipulation of space, interacting with tradition and modernity, to create installations that reflect modern society.
