AURA: Exploring Unfamiliar Landscape
I’m proud to present my Creative Direction shoot, featuring garments I designed and curated, in collaboration with Filipino 3D artist Ivan Medrano, whose stunning set design elevates this project.
This work celebrates inner strength, self-love, and resilience on the journey of self-discovery. It’s about taking leaps of faith, chasing dreams, and embracing growth. Through 3D set design, we created surfaces symbolizing obstacles and the unfamiliar, reflecting the struggles and triumphs of young artists. We dream. We work hard. We collaborate. We thrive—together.
As an immigrant, spending years in Canada without returning home, I’ve often felt trapped by life’s transitions. Digital art became my escape, transcending physical limitations. Inspired by Vietnamese landscapes, this project is a tribute to perseverance, identity, and the boundless power of creativity.
