Special Project

This is where I unify conceptual systems that execute a single narrative theme across multiple disciplines simultaneously. Combining structural painting, character design layouts, digital composites, and copywriting, I construct deep visual experiences that explore complex personal and cultural ideas.

The Fantastic Four: First Dreams

Four souls, bound as one family, who carried me into the waking dream of New York City, to walk among the legends of Marvel.

The Fantastic Four: First Dreams is a fan-art publication celebrating Marvel's First Family from my perspective as a designer. Combining historical research, retrofuturist aesthetics, and original poster designs, this book reflects my passion for editorial design and typography, exploring optimism and the feeling of living alongside superheroes in New York City.

Vietnamese Spirit

A love letter to Vietnam—not just a place, but a permanent fixture in my heart.

Born and raised in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, and having immigrated to the United States in 2024, my artistic practice serves as a deeply personal bridge connecting me to the homeland I miss. This project, Vietnamese Spirit, channels my longing for where I came from and my cultural identity through several Vietnamese symbols. By weaving together traditional symbols such as the Lac Bird, the Ly-Tran Dynasty Dragon, and the Ao Dai, I aim to reflect both the gentle grace and enduring strength of Vietnam, ultimately sharing the rich heritage of my heart with the world.

Human & Nature

Humans are a part of nature, or is this the other way around?

Since my enrollment at SVA, Professor Simone Couto has sparked my interest in oil painting. In this project, I painted various human subjects, especially their portraits, combined with elements of nature to describe their traits. Especially flowers, because they have many kinds, styles, colors, and even smells. From that concept, a question comes to my mind: If everything humans do is natural because we are a part of nature, how can anything we do be considered unnatural?
