Inspiration & Collaboration
The Architecture in Vietnam served as the inspiration for this photograph series particularly in the Imperial City in Hue. The ideation for the project was to create a blend of the Vietnamese culture is so intrinsically a part of the daily life of every person there. The idea for this project came forth when i noticed the red pillars within the inner throne room in the Imperial City and it was painted with regal bright dragons and clouds. The particular style of portrayal of clouds is the repetitive pattern in this photograph series as i observed it had it's presence in every architectural wonder in Vietnam. The other elements in the series have come about after the experiences during the road trip journey through Vietnam.
This project was a collaboration with an amazing photographer, Swapnil Junjare a fellow creator while traveling through Vietnam. We decided to create a photograph series of all the inspiration we got on our road trip in Vietnam. His photographs perfectly captured the wonderful people we got to meet there. The art and cultural influences i experienced during the road trip through the various cities there have taken the form of illustrations in his photographs.
