ARTWORKS FOR 0084 PODCAST | 2020– | SWINBURNE UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY

These illustrations are made to feature the 0084 Podcast which I participated in with my friends. It is a Vietnamese podcast telling stories about life in Vietnam through the typical sounds we hear every day. The concept is to take something small—like a sound—and then magnify it to take listeners on a journey.

MY ALTER EGO | 2021 | RMIT UNIVERSITY

As my time at university is coming to an end, I have been reminiscing on old projects I have created in the past and challenging myself to recreate these assignments using what I have learnt. My Alter Ego was an illustration assignment given to us in the first year that challenged us to draw ourselves in an alternate universe. When creating the new version, I tried to keep the drawing as close to the original as possible, with only some small changes. These include snake tattoos, rather than a snake pattern on the skin. Within three years my style and quality of drawing have immensely changed and I am very proud of the progress I have made so far.

FRAGMENTED IDENTITY | 2021 | RMIT UNIVERSITY

In this university project, we needed to design and produce a creative, direct mailer series to promote a new paper range that is laser–friendly and specialty stocks to designers and printers for Spicers Paper. As human beings, we come to understand ourselves best through our interactions with other people. Everyone you meet is your mirror. Nowadays, we see ourselves differently, through the way we present ourselves on social media. We care so much about numbers—the numbers of followers we have, the number of likes we get. This design explores the topic of social media and our identities based on a visual theme inspired by the movement of surrealism.

THE COCOON | 2020 | RMIT UNIVERSITY

THE COCOON is a graphic novel about a moth larva trying to escape from a crazy scientist in a fictional world. The story is a metaphor for the courage to counter mainstream social value, rigid systems and stereotypes. To reflect the sci–fi atmosphere of the background, I decided to create the art style of retro–futurism by using geometrical shapes, pixel fonts and textures filled with noises. Apart from the graphic novel, I also made a series of posters as promotional items.

SYMBIODINIUM | 2021 | RMIT UNIVERSITY

As with most of my work, this piece was a response to research into natural processes. In this particular case, I was investigating coral formation through symbiosis. I wanted to explore the complex patterns of interconnectivity through complimentary 2D and 3D forms. All coral sections are produced by applying procedural materials to hand-drawn sketches. I arranged these digital coral elements into a composition to emphasise the beauty and complexity found in natural systems.

WHAT A WASTE | 2021 | RMIT UNIVERSITY

This series of illustrations shows concern over the packaging waste from online shopping, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. It discusses the excessive amount of packaging used as items are generally wrapped in layers of plastic and not recycled after. It aims to encourage a change in consumer habits.

ALWAYS CHASING NEVER SATISFIED | 2021 | SWINBURNE UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY

Recently I have been connecting with the unique and relaxed style of surfing designs. As someone who enjoys going surfing, I was trying to express the never–ending feeling of desire for the next wave in this illustration, while bringing forth my own style and perspective. It is a design like this, that often inspires me to create and I hope it has the same effect on someone else.
