While I was studying at Ho Chi Minh City University of Fine Arts, a family incident occurred and I had to support a relative who was suffering from mental illness. They left the daily world and immersed themselves in a dreamlike world without suffering from the pressures of life, the prejudice, competition, and malice of around people. In there, they could be themselves without worrying about what others think of them.
But after a long treatment, they had to be brought back into the real world. Even after that, the question continued to plague me: "Should I pull them out of their dreamlike world and back into the pressure-filled real world?" This thought had a huge impact on me and provided a powerful inspiration for my creations. I mainly used physical expression to express the mental confusion of the characters. It shows how modern life is oppressed by invisible restrictions.
For me, people with mental illness are very admirable, and they have the courage to transcend boring and oppressive norms and indulge in freedom. Inner confusion is also what I want to express in my artwork and I want to convey my deep inner feelings to the viewers through it.

Traditionally, a sculpture is produced with materials such as concrete, bronze, stone, wood, iron, ceramic, plastic, etc. I combine those materials with foam. Foam has two physicalities, liquid and solid, and is subjected to substantial external impacts under different conditions to arrive at its final shape. This uncontrollable property of Foam reminded me of uncertainty in the form of allergies on my body, as on anything else. The origin of random allergies is a testament to the uncertainty of the allergens in and out of every "body." I liken myself to a "body," a house to a "body," society to a "body," and presence to a "body," or faith, after all, is a "body." All are exposed to limitless allergens.

Inspired by the physical and mental lives of individuals, about allergies through the experience of allergies when eating bread, body allergies are in sync with the reactions of the self - when human emotions are provoked and invaded by the turbulent flow of information on online social networks. Through that, I depict pain by visualizing the wound with sculpture. By composing about physical allergy, I want to express the sensibility of mental body allergy.

I edit everyday photos, create digital sketches, and create paintings using a collage method with different type of paper (printed paper, Japanese paper, traditional Vietnamese paper, packaging paper, etc.). My photos are like the pages of a diary, where I want to record some of my emotions and journeys of my life. Since I want to go against the flow of digital age, I don't want to waste time on the smartphone. Because we live in the age that makes people unsure of who they are, I want to increase the desire to establish my own position. I explore the charm of handicrafts, and by tearing paper, I use my senses such as touch, sight, hearing, smell to perceive things around me and create my art works. Through these experiences, I would like to make viewers to rediscover the charm of paper, show that traditional and all types of paper are excellent materials for art, and preserve the traditional culture of paper. I would like to emphasize the importance of paper, by exploring the value of paper through use it as a record of the age and a medium of expression.
