This project is a personal experiment in creating an intersection between the unconscious, subconscious, and conscious world of the characters, and my own unconscious, subconscious, and conscious world. Through a special questionnaire I created, I asked Vietnamese youth between the ages of 20 and 30 about their choice of clothes for casual occasions and formal events. The respondents choose to answer at least five questions that caught their interest. From there, I formed concepts for the images, incorporating the answers to reveal the inner world of what they care about in contemporary life and the cultural diversity of the countries where they reside, going hand in hand with traditional, cultural Vietnamese values that have been with them since birth.
