My Pixel Corner

My pixel art journey began with a question: “Do I even call this a tree?” What started as an experiment with simple squares soon grew into a lifelong pursuit of essence through simplicity. I discovered that every pixel—no matter how small—carries meaning, and that art doesn’t need complexity to be powerful.

Entirely self-taught in animation tools like Pix2D, Aseprite, and CapCut, I’ve created over 40 original pixel animations—ranging from pixel guitar covers of Vietnamese songs to research explainers viewed by over 23,000 people. Danimation became more than an artistic outlet; it became a bridge between art, technology, and education.

Pixel art also reshaped how I think, lead, and create. It taught me that clarity, not detail, defines impact—a principle that guided my leadership in the Shark Economics Club and inspired my nonprofit Maskhmerize, where I designed pixel art merchandise celebrating Khmer culture.

Each piece I make now reminds me of that first tree: imperfect, simple, but full of meaning. Pixel by pixel, I continue to explore how minimal strokes can tell the most human stories.
