From December 26 to 28, the Aqua Art Center in Hanoi transforms into a sanctuary of creative expression with Triposphere: Dreams & Dreamers. Curated by Nguyen Thi Thuy Trang, an MA and lecturer in Art and Design at Hanoi Architecture University, the exhibition introduces a fresh, boundary-pushing artistic universe that Vietnam has never experienced before.

Originally launched in Toronto (Canada) in 2022, Triposphere is a community-based exhibition series that bridges philosophical reflection, artistic expression, and human connection. It is a space where imagination is unleashed and unspeakable emotions find form through art.

With the theme Dreams & Dreamers, artists are invited to enter a world of dreams-personal dreams, memories, and aspirations. Each dream acts as a gateway, leading the imagination into uncharted territories.

As visitors walk through the exhibition space, they are taken on a journey across dreamscapes. Each artwork is its own dream; each artist, a dreamer paving a unique path. The works resonate with a shared spirit, yet remain distinct in their storytelling.

According to curator Thuy Trang, what stands out in this exhibition is the depth of thought and the readiness of the young artists to explore complex ideas. Many pieces reflect a tightly woven and serious thought process. Some go beyond traditional frameworks, resisting a single interpretation or fixed form.

These artworks are not merely playful exercises in creativity. They are rooted in the artists' inner lives and everyday contemplations. This grounding gives rise to a wide-open space for expression-where diversity is not just welcomed, but central.

The artists come from varied backgrounds. Some are formally trained in fine arts; others come from graphic design, fashion design, or other creative industries. This diversity of origin lends the exhibition a rich, panoramic perspective.

Sharing her reason for bringing Triposphere to Hanoi, Lannie Le-co-founder and Creative Director of Pixel Dreams-explained: “Hanoi is where I was born and raised. We brought Triposphere here to honor Vietnam’s rich culture of creativity and its spirit of independence.”

“Return” by Kim Oanh began from a memory at age 17, gazing into a sacred stream near a temple in Hanoi. Her work draws on motifs from Dong Son bronze drums-sun discs, concentric spirals, stilt houses-and uses 24k gold leaf, reminiscent of the “chín gold leafing” technique in Vietnamese lacquer painting.
