“Where do I start- I was astonished at the breadth of this work. When an artist is able to create beauty and express truth simultaneously and bring attention to a universal issue that has persisted throughout history without compromise- then, in my humble opinion their recognition is without question! I have been singing & writing songs nearly all my life &I hope someday I can accomplish what Ms. Huong has given to humanity”
Gail Warning, 12/1/07

Danna Spencer

“This is fabulous and so important. The impact of decisions to promote war and violence must see the light of day. When perpetrators can hide behind closed doors the public can permit itself to turn a blind eye. This exhibit obligates the viewer to make a choice to act and be part of the solution or not act and be part of the problem”
Milanie Hatfield ~

“It’s a very powerful exhibit, evocative of a variety of emotions. Sadness, outrage, motivation to work for peace are all evoked. Some of the panels are so beautiful. I like the use of lots of red, white and blue because for me, it positively connects peace & patriotism. I also like all the different visions of doves. The doves that appear to be bleeding make me very sad, but also outraged.”
Julie Unger ~

David Parker ~

“At first I’m overwhelmed with the size and color of your work. Then I start the first step to see individual pieces, each telling a story in its unpure voice. I continue to see the very small spaces voice for peace. I get disoriented and need to step back. Looking at your work from a higher collective view I hear the voice among the voices of war, suffering and pain. The voice of peace is the constant signal that cuts through what our reality is, for the change in the world, for the peace. I am a better person in seeing your work here.”
Vanessa Pagan, 10/6/07  ~ Gainesville, FL

Dorian Hill, 12/8/07 ~ Miami Beach, FL

Patricia Triggs, 12/20/07 ~

“I wish you had projected your artistic talents for some other subject, I wish it (the war, militarism) was a word, a concept we never knew, or experienced. But we do and without accepting that war is in human nature, we know we should fight peacefully, with understanding against the war makers and the real reason behind it that involves everything: militarism and your contribution is priceless. It reminded me of my experiences in my country in Turkey, and times I spent in Iraq when I was a reporter.”
Seyda Aylin Gurses, 12/18/07 ~ S. Miami, FL
