Personal work

Freedom in movement. A magical moment when movement turns into art. Collaboration with Tristan Huynh in Ho Chi Minh City.
Collaboration with videographer/director Nguyễn Hồng Sơn and Phan Tuấn Vũ, capturing the strength of a stranger discovering Da Nang, Vietnam, and reconnecting with herself through the exploration of a new city.
With Indonesian photographer Ricki Saputra — the bustling energy of Ho Chi Minh City meets the strength and aliveness of a dancer.
Leaping into life — raw and real. Leaving the eternal “maybe” of endless possibilities behind, overcoming the fear of choosing, and choosing myself — a declaration repeated again and again. With photographer Phan Tuấn Vũ.

Fragile Crown : girl shaped as an ideal—thin, delicate, dressed in impractical beauty. The image reflects how patriarchy rewards fragility and ornamental femininity, praising women who appear soft and passive. Lace and stillness are tools of control them.

Integrated queen: A woman as Jung’s Queen and Great Mother archetype embodied. She has integrated her shadow, reclaimed authority, and transformed generational feminine trauma born from control, domination, and the unintegrated mother. Her power is mature.

$Reconciling the Shadow side : investigating the internal fracture between the corrective impulse (the shadow) and the authentic self. It proposes a methodology of somatic awareness to integrate the fear of control and the demand for correctness.$
Reconciling the Shadow side : investigating the internal fracture between the corrective impulse (the shadow) and the authentic self. It proposes a methodology of somatic awareness to integrate the fear of control and the demand for correctness.
Gravity of sensuality : the profound weight and power of an acknowledged, autonomous feminine presence. It shows actively reclaiming space (the "masculine world") and self-determined safety and power.
Power That Does Not Reach Out: Power is present, not as action, but as possibility. The refusal to take becomes its highest form.
States of Becoming : exploration of identity's fluidity, capturing moments where authenticity and performance merge through shifts in gaze, gesture, and presence.
Tender Resistance : the quiet strength embedded in stillness and softness. Through restrained expressions and minimal styling, it confronts how femininity is often read as vulnerability, reclaiming gentleness as endurance and quiet power.
Grace and Appetite : the coexistence of refinement and nourishment—the poise of ballet intertwined with the simple pleasure of tasting and being. It reflects on how bodily grace and appetite coexist as natural expressions of vitality and presence.
Brand Couture : Channel looking handwoven textures form a sculptural silhouette that bridges softness and strength. Inspired by my silent phases after returning to Japan, the piece translates introspection into high-end minimalism: couture as quiet armor.

From Form to Field This work traces the shift from self-consciousness—how to act or be seen—to a larger field of awareness. It explores the dissolution of individuality into shared presence, where art becomes co-creation and expanded consciousness.

On fame - The desire for fame is not for distinction in what we do, but for validation from those who do not know us — an appeal to the anonymous gaze. To be content with mutual recognition is a mark of inner grounding.

M.Sc. Final Project
