River of Lights

In "River of Lights," I invite participants on an evocative journey through the digital reincarnation of Pho Co Hoi An, a nexus of cultural vibrancy and historical resonance. This interactive experience is not merely a replication of the town's physical beauty; it is an intimate dive into its soul, reflected through the eyes of a child - pure, curious, devoid of the clutter of adulthood preconceptions.

This project is a symphony of tradition and tranquility, with each interaction crafted to echo the harmony of Hoi An's community life. From the rhythmic hum of market negotiations to the silent eloquence of historic edifices, participants engage with more than just structures; they touch the intangible - the spirit of a culture preserved in digital eternity.

The temple on the bridge, a cornerstone of this journey, is more than a serene refuge. It is a symbolic passage through time, an echo of perseverance in an ever-modernizing world. Herein lies the crux of this experience: a juxtaposition of the old and the new, urging participants to ponder the constancy of change, the comfort found in enduring legacies.

Concluding in the lantern workshop, participants engage in a rite of passage, immersing in the intricacies of craft and symbol. The lantern, a beacon in the soft night, carries the weight of meaning and memory, culminating in a festival of light, life, and reflection on the river's gentle waves.

"River of Lights" transcends visual allure, offering instead a narrative, an emotion, a whisper of life in digital echoes. It is my ode to heritage, a delicate balance between playful discovery and profound reflection, a microcosm of life itself, flowing like the river under the lantern's tender glow.
