This isn't about making these legends "cute" or diluting them, it's about giving them a modern format that lets a new generation encounter them the way I did: with a mix of dread and fascination. Somewhere between folklore preservation and fan project (with a big assist from AI art via Reve) (Inspo by collectible card), this collection is my love letter to the stories that raised me.
More cards dropping soon. Which legend do you want to see next? 👇

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.
Love the direction with this! The references to Vietnamese culture is so unique!
