What comes in my mind?
I'm always curious about anything. And keep thinking of all reasons why things happen and try to express my feelings through visuals. Sometimes it's dark, sometimes it's fun but all are with craziness.
So now, enjoy some of my favorite pieces.
This one I created to join an Adage Cover competition but they canceled at the last minute before the announcement day :(
The brief is imagine what Ad Age’s cover will look like ten years from now, look further, into the wild beyond, and explore where evolution will take the industry next.
So I decided to use eye to represent human beings in this cover. From my point of view, eye symbolizes for mind as well as creativity. It is thought as one of the most important parts of our bodies. Moreover, looking at the image, the eye as the sun is rising from the horizon. It means from the darkest side, we still look forward to the bright one. It is also my message to everyone: Only focusing on the positive side helps us to overcome the struggle and find solutions.
And yes, please trust, hope and move forward.
Another favorite piece is the right one. I always thought of why most of women I've been meeting assume that their vulva is one of the dirties parts of their bodies.
Therefore, I painted this one just want to tell everyone to take care of our bodies well before loving someone else. Eye symbolizes as the most intelligent part and the vulva goes with eyes, that means the same things. Just treat all well and be confident with every corner of yourselves.
This piece maybe less dark and deep like ones above. It's for New year 2021. I'm sure that most of Vietnamese play card at Tet. And "Xì dzách" is one of the most popular. When you get 'A' and '10' cards (or 'A' and 'A', 'A' and 'J', 'A and 'Q', 'A' and 'K'), it means 21 points, you win this game immediately.
So, to wish everyone a whole year, saying "Happy 20xìdzách" instead of Happy 2021. A funny vibe matches Tet.
This piece pleases my passion for pun alot ⸜(。˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝
In Vietnamese, "đầy đủ" means the fulfilment. And I try to communicate this abstract meaning via visual.
To Vietnamese, "papaya" is called "đu đủ" and it is used as one element for the five-fruit tray which is one of decoration things in Tết - Lunar new year, to pray for a well-off year. And "đầy" means "many", so "đầy đủ" means many papayas. Yea, simply explain the meaning of this artwork.
