DETOX MASCULINITY, right in its name, is to detox toxic masculinity, challenging the term by showing the reverse of a set of attitudes and ways of behaving stereotypically that society expects of men and women. Based on my personal stories growing up in a country where female and gay rights are not fully recognized, and observance I collected throughout childhood, I want to use my visual creativity to address this problem in a very playful and colorful way!

The video is a medley of all my filmmaking works as well as a sequence of all my favorite experiences and activities that give me the feeling of warmth, happiness, and joy. How I embrace my identity and self-love is through the small moments I have in everyday life.

Most Asian cultures are predominantly collectivistic in nature, where the individual is tied with the group identity while the notion of independent self is often deemphasized. As a Vietnamese, how I was brought up has pushed me to prioritize the desires of my family over my personal needs and goals. Whatever we do has to benefit off each other in the long run, and how a person presents themselves to others can reflect their family’s social standing, education, reputation and belief.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
