Dream II
Passion Project
Dream II (Giac Mo II) is a series of artworks created to reflect the perspective of the younger generation on the first-generation Honda Dream — a motorbike that was first imported into Vietnam decades ago. The vehicle is seen as a symbol of youthful dreams and ambitions, an enduring image through time. This piece captures the intimate moment of contemplating that dream up close, magnifying both the beauty of the motorbike and the deep desire to reach one’s aspirations.
This project takes the familiar shape of a simple Honda Dream and reimagines it in a dream-like world, turning an ordinary object into something surreal — something that reflects the idea of an ideal desire.
It’s the most ambitious project I’ve created so far, pushing me in both visual storytelling and the craft of 3D production. Working on it gave me the space to explore the full production process from early concepts and storyboards to modeling, rigging, texturing, look development, rendering, and animation. It was a chance to refine my skillset as a generalist 3D artist.

This artwork looks at the motorbike from a fresh perspective—how we see it, what it represents, and the way it ties into the core memories of a generation. It was later featured in Ngóc Ngách – Core Memories, an augmented reality art and design exhibition organized by Field Design Collective. There, the Dream stepped beyond the digital screen and became an interactive AR experience, letting the audience connect with it in a more personal and immersive way.

The Making Of
To model the Dream as accurately as possible, I relied on an official Honda catalog that showed every assembly step and detailed each parts LINK. From major components down to tiny nuts and bolts. Along with reference photos of my father’s bike. The whole process took around six months, mostly done in my free time and after work. Working at this pace gave me the chance to focus on the details and stay true to the original design of the Dream. The final result is a clean, almost accurate base model that I can continue customizing and building on in future variations.
