I am an interdisciplinary artist working across printmaking, painting, sculpture, video, and installation. Through these varied media, I explore themes of personal identity, immigration, and cultural heritage. My work is deeply influenced by my upbringing in Vietnam and my transition into adulthood in the United States—an experience that has shaped my worldview and informed my use of symbolism and social commentary.

Growing up in Vietnam, I witnessed firsthand how queerness was marginalized. Effeminate behavior was often met with judgment and abuse. These early challenges propelled me to explore and embrace gay culture, using my art to express the power, intimacy, and beauty of queerness. My poetry collection, Lust, Love, Loss, reflects these themes—touching on desire, heartbreak, and grief. I continue to revisit these motifs in my visual work, confronting taboos and pushing against censorship. Through homoerotic imagery, I aim to challenge Vietnamese social norms and advocate for queer visibility as a gay Vietnamese American artist.

After years of distance from my homeland, I have developed a renewed interest in reconnecting with my Vietnamese heritage. I collect materials, stories, and symbols from both Eastern and Western traditions to highlight the tensions and harmonies between these cultural spheres. My work strives to bridge past and present, intimacy and distance, tradition and transgression.
