Description

This wooden clock, shaped like the map of Vietnam, was acquired before 1975 in Vietnam and brought to the United States. On their final night in Saigon, Kathy, her husband (a Malaysian doctor), and their two sons packed without sleep. Among the few belongings they carried was this wooden map of Vietnam. For Kathy Brown, who regularly checked the time, the clock was meant to be a constant and meaningful reminder of her homeland, ensuring that the memory of Vietnam remained present in her everyday life.
