One of my favorite projects in 2023, the assignment from a Vietnamese Local Brand | WAC - organic scented candles, was A card deck with concept of combining  modern fashion style and Vietnamese tradition which is presented via zodiac animals, inspiration from religion and folk arts. Please enjoy final result, the process and sketches below. Thank you! 

I chose to present my Vienamese cultural heritage Cai Luong Opera - combining the Four Benevolent Animals or Four Holy Beasts, including Long (the Dragon), Lân (the Qilin), Quy (the Turtle) and phụng/phượng (the Fenghuang)
