The artwork Cổ by Thuận Ngô (Trevor Rouge) employs the overprint technique. The overlaid imagery is a photograph personally captured by the artist, depicting old Vietnamese collective housing. These images embody the urban memory of Vietnam residential blocks once deeply tied to many generations, representing an era of cramped living yet filled with communal bonds.

Layered atop, the linocut print symbolizes a woman whose flowing curves evoke clouds and wind. She is not a portrait of an individual but rather a symbolic presence enveloping the weathered concrete structures beneath. It feels as though the spirit, breath, and emotions of humanity are sustaining the memory of the city. The carved, submerged clouds suggest an ethereal quality: an invisible bridge between the harsh reality of collective living and the deeper realms of spirituality and dreams. Clouds, at once natural and temporal, engage in dialogue with the weight of concrete.
