Ceramic chess set, with a touch of Vietnam
Ceramic chess set with hand-painted tiles showcase iconic Vietnamese school tiles patterns. While half of the pieces capture the vibrant essence of Vietnamese culture, including some of my personal perspectives (like my middle school uniform painted on the pawns of one side), the other half is the traditional, common white pieces often seen on a regular chess board.
On the “Vietnamese” side of the board I also incorporated Vietnamese imageries like áo dài, Vietnamese soccer player, lotus, Ha Long bay,...
The blended cultures factors in this piece is an attempt to capture my true heritage, and culture understanding of both side as a first generation immigrant in the US. Through this piece, I wanted to show part of my culture and make it work with something outside of my old environment, creating a “blended” piece.
