Existentialism finally caught up with me. Drawing, sketching, creating - these are not mere hobbies. They are the essence of my being. They are my silent language, a universal code that transcends all borders! God, conventional communication has always been my Achilles' heel, my words often falling on deaf ears.

what is #the idea behind?
The common perception is that art is a luxury reserved for the wealthy, a mere adornment for their walls. The nouveau riche, in their turn, see art as a status symbol, a reflection of their own opulence.
However, speaking for those who appreciate art on a deeper level, I contend that art’s value transcends monetary worth and its purpose extends beyond mere visual gratification. I aspire to infuse my creations with this philosophy, demonstrating that art can be found not only in grand oil paintings but also in the most mundane objects, such as a soap dispenser, a lamp, or even a garbage can, when crafted with care and intention.
Vietnam, my beloved homeland, boasts a rich tradition of ceramic art, yet it remains relatively unknown to the world. I don't have the grand vision of turning Vietnamese ceramics into a global sensation. Instead, I believe Vietnamese ceramic art can be more than just a traditional craft, with designs that often lack aesthetic appeal and focus solely on functionality, leading to a repetitive appearance.
From my philosophical perspective, beauty always has a purpose. I aim to use local materials like Vietnamese pottery glaze and clay as the foundation for modern ceramic art designs.
