The photo series is titled "Garbage Castle" because the author heard a rather interesting story from an administrator of the Hanoi Green group. Once, after seeing some children collecting trash on the beach and building it into a castle, they came up with the idea of ​​creating a community dedicated to collecting trash and protecting the environment.

Trash will always remain trash, but it can be transformed into a "castle" with the benevolent hands and minds of people. A castle of solidarity between nations for a green, clean, and beautiful world .
