This piece was built to test how far AI can push photoreal material rendering (reflection, refraction, surface tension) inside a fully imagined environment, with no reference photography involved. Every image was generated using AI, part of an ongoing exploration into abstract product and object visualization through AI direction.

SOLENE Paris pt. 4

SOLENE Paris is an elevated perfume house that creates fragrances that are designed to be an everyday luxury. I developed a brand identity rooted in restraint, featuring a chic wordmark, a neutral palette, and minimalist packaging.

The bottles were designed to feel less like a display piece left untouched on a shelf, and more like something you'd toss in your handbag and cherish as part of your everyday routine. Texture and natural image shots were incorporated to make the brand feel human, effortless, chic, and lived-in. The result is a brand that feels quietly luxurious and entirely timeless. SOLENE's fragrances are the kind of staple that belong in your everyday life, not just on display.

VIETNAM, Y3K — FLORA Museum Challenge

For the FLORA Museum Challenge, I chose the Incense Burner with Dragon Spout, a Vietnamese artifact from the 1st–3rd century in The Met’s collection ( https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/53862 ), and reimagined it through a Y3K lens.

I wanted to connect an ancient object with a familiar image of Vietnam today: a woman riding a scooter. The dragon-shaped incense burner became a futuristic chrome vehicle, while traditional Vietnamese clothing and the conical hat were transformed into synthetic future wear.

I built the entire visual world in FLORA, from the clothing and accessories to the dragon scooter, environments, stills, and final video. Using AI as a world building tool, the project imagines how Vietnamese visual culture might evolve into another timeline while still carrying traces of its past.
