This abstract painting belongs to the series of gouaches featured at the exhibition '24 Gouaches by Vu Dan Tan' in the Hanoi Association of Literature and Art in 1989. This solo exhibition was organised during a short visit by the artist to Hanoi from Russia, his home from 1987 to 1990. All the works belong to the previous period of 1986 to early 1987; most of the works were intentionally destroyed by the artist in 2004-2005.

This painting is among the early works by Vu Dan Tan in the 1970s and 1980s. The collection from this period ranges from drawings and paintings to masks made of natural or recycled materials.
