Behind their shoulders on the bustling streets of Saigon, each passing journey tells a story of resilience and the vibrant spirit of its people
— Sai Gon team
My First Viral Project:
Stories of Saigon
Sài Gòn sau vai - Behind the Shoulders of Saigon, a series of illustrations by Sai Gon Emojii and 8 Reborn Studio, captures the vibrant essence of the city's bustling inhabitants and the intricate details of daily life.
As one of the lead artists on this project, I am proud to share that it went viral on social media, resonating deeply with viewers in South Vietnam. This success opened the door for more art projects about Saigon, like "Saigon 3 Meters Space" and "Saigon in the Rain."
The unconventional portraits and candid depictions struck a chord, celebrating the resilience and spirit of Saigon's people and offering a unique glimpse into the heart of the city.

Capture the essence of Saigon
"Here in Saigon, every time I step out onto the street, I see someone's back. I may not see their faces, but each one brings me endless inspiration."

Reflection
Working on Sài Gòn sau vai – Behind the Shoulders of Saigon was one of those projects that hits you right in the ❤️. As one of the lead artists, I didn’t just want to capture the surface, I wanted to show the pulse of the city, the everyday moments that go unnoticed but tell the real story.
When the project went viral, it became clear: it wasn’t just about the art; it was about connection. The people of South Vietnam saw themselves in it—the hustle, the resilience, the beauty in the chaos. We didn’t play it safe; the illustrations are raw, unconventional, and a little messy, just like Saigon itself. And people felt that. 🛵
This project opened doors, sparking others like Saigon 3 Meters Space and Saigon in the Rain. It reminded me that when you tell a story authentically, people listen. This wasn’t just an art series—it became a conversation with the city. 🌆 I walked away with a renewed sense of purpose: it’s not just about making art; it’s about creating something that resonates, that reflects the soul of a place and its people. 🌿
