My practice aims to cast a spotlight on the oddities of everyday life. I see man-made objects as unintentional sculptures, and I aim to contemplate the human mind that has led to shaping the subjects by pairing photography and text. I am especially passionate about objects that reflect the emotional behavior of humans. My subjects vary from the paper offerings for the deceased used in Vietnamese folk religion highlighting our obsession with consumerism, to cooked or processed food shaped by cultural diversity as well as the necessity for survival.
Research and writing take great importance in my work. I see visual arts are a toolbox I use to investigate what intrigues me, and the resulting work is a record of my discovery. As an artist, I hope what tugs me into a project will also be the things that the audience takes away.
