Mid-autumn festival

ARTIST STATEMENT

As an emerging artist, I enjoy working with diverse digital media ranging from video editing, motion graphics, coding, and three-dimensional modeling. I desire to take photos and videos and edit them to document my life. I also enjoy creating personal works for those who are close to me. My work often draws upon a minimalist and cartoon aesthetic. I focus on creating engaging experiences and interactive works that are relatable and provocative. My aspiration in creating art is to create immersive experiences exploring its power in the conveyance of my Vietnamese culture, an expression of my personality. Growing up in Vietnam, I got to experience lots of memorable festivals and holidays during my childhood. In my current work, I combine photography and 3D modeling to recreate a traditional festival in my hometown as a way to relive and reflect upon the tradition, heritage, and shifting memories and experiences over time with child-like wonder.
