Nestled in the heart of Hội An’s artistic sanctuary, the newly unveiled Cơ Tu Tower at Cui Lu Art Space stands as a monumental tribute to one of Central Vietnam’s most spiritually rich ethnic cultures—the Cơ Tu people. With intricate hand-carved wooden sculptures rising from the earth like sacred totems, this installation invites visitors on a journey into the myths, legends, and ancestral spirits of the Trường Sơn mountains.
A Living Sculpture Inspired by the Cơ Tu People
The Cơ Tu Tower is not simply an artwork—it is a living narrative. Composed of dozens of individually carved figures, masks, animals, and mythical beings, the tower draws inspiration from the traditional woodcarving heritage of the Cơ Tu, known for their spiritual symbols and ancestral reverence.
Each sculpture tells a story. From fierce elephant guardians and solemn warriors to serene maternal figures and mysterious forest spirits, the tower echoes the visual language seen in Cơ Tu Gươl houses and ceremonial spaces. Crafted by skilled hands using local timber, the installation pays homage to the Cơ Tu’s deep connection with nature and the sacred.
A Celebration of Cultural Identity and Sustainability
At Cui Lu Art Space, art is more than expression—it is a powerful way to preserve culture and tell meaningful, sustainable stories. The Cơ Tu Tower reflects our commitment to honoring Vietnam’s diverse indigenous heritage and supporting ethnic minority artisans.
Crafted entirely from sustainably sourced driftwood, the sculptures were created in collaboration with skilled artisans from Driftwood Village. Their hands bring ancestral traditions to life, transforming reclaimed wood into a celebration of cultural identity and artistic resilience.
