ENTROPY
Mây takes action that cannot be undone and starts bigger chaos rather than balancing the current world of her own. „Entropy” is not only a Polish-Vietnamese culture clash; it showcases a social entropy process that collides and reaches the core of inconvenient questions that we are about to answer and take responsibility for. Invisible loss can never be retrieved.
