During 2016, Sans Repère (Without Bearings) stepped aside for a new collection of portraits called Cri Intérieur (Inner Cry), a myriad of emotions. Hom’s oneiric faces with mouths fastened shut were succeeded by a series of faces portraying intense vocalization, open anger, euphoria, and hidden melancholy. Hom Nguyen is attracted by the substructure for all human destinies: joy and sorrow, desire and fear, a cry and a hush, the material and the spiritual, presence and evanescence, now was the right time for Cri Intérieur (Inner Cry).
