Vietnamese Childhood Toys Series

A tribute to the toys that shaped my earliest memories

Childhood has always been an infinite inspiration for my art. In this project, I illustrated and created simple frame-by-frame animations of the toys that once filled my days with joy. I incorporated galaxy elements— a way to express how these toys still hold a universe of memories for me.

Through vibrant colors and quirky motion, I celebrate the magic of play—the kind that lingers long after childhood fades. This series is a personal keepsake, a way to preserve the small but meaningful moments of my childhood through art. To my surprise, this series resonated far beyond my own nostalgia, sparking a burst of love when posted on Threads, where thousands shared the same heartfelt memories.
