Loài Plastic

Digital, exhibition 2019

For the Loài Plastic exhibition in Saigon, I was invited to contribute by designing two 3D monsters that symbolized the overwhelming presence of plastic waste in our environment. My goal was to create playful yet menacing characters, using colorful plastic waste. One of these 3D illustrations, which was featured on the main exhibition poster, became the exhibition’s official mascot. These designs represented how plastic, once seen as harmless, has now become an invasive species in our world. My work was later published in Gam 7, a Vietnamese design magazine..

The exhibition

The Loài Plastic exhibition attracted thousands of visitors, with the plastic monsters becoming a central highlight. One of the monsters was transformed into a massive papier-mâché sculpture, standing as the centerpiece of the exhibition. Visitors were also able to experience my 3D monster in virtual reality.
