Dịch vụ thầm thì
2022
Interactive installation at Trôi Festival
'Dịch vụ thầm thì' (Whisper service) was inspired by Confessional in Catholic Churches and intimate conversation (pillow talk) between two people.
This service responded to the need of sharing without any judgments; separated into 2 rooms: only-listen, only-whisper. The work appropriated normal objects and made them into pop-up private rooms.
'Dịch vụ thầm thì' is made for Suicide Prevention Month, installed at Trôi Festival - an experimental art festival in Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam

It's a worth loving world
2022 - On-going
With the urge to connect and explore a simple concept: love, eventually will find you, ‘it’s a worth loving world’ is the contrary of the negative you face on everyday news.
'it's a worth loving world' is part I of the series 'And they will take root where the soil goes', to explore the relationship between human and human. This artwork explores how love and kindness can easily be spread between humans. In addition, copies of the artwork were given for free and had a plan to appear in city scenes, replica propaganda posters usually found in Vietnam.
The work was exhibited in 'Đường dây nóng' exhibition, Vietnam.
Ai kìa trong gương

Interactive installation at Loco Art Market 2023
A part of "It's a worth loving world" series
When I'm receiving @locoartmarket theme about the sea, my brain slowly get stuck with "ocean of mind". As I joined @mamnon.collective for the Kindergarten booth, I feel that I have some kind of responsibility to write for my younger self. I think that 5 years old version of me finally felt safe - because I'm slowly becoming who I need when I was a kid.
'Ai kìa trong gương' (Who's there in the mirror?) is part II of the series 'And they will take root where the soil goes'. The installation was exhibited in LOCO ART MARKET, Vietnam, 2023.
