As visitors enter the exhibition space, they find themselves enveloped in a captivating display of floating kites. These kites, crafted with intricate dot paintings, vary in shape and size, creating a mesmerizing spectacle.
The artist, Hess, has masterfully combined her unique art form with the enchanting piano melodies of Raphael Eligoulachvili, resulting in a multi-sensory experience. The kites, adorned with vibrant colors and intricate patterns, dance to the soothing rhythms, captivating both the sight and imagination of those present.
Hess’s dedication to her craft is evident in her daily routine. For months, she has diligently created four kites each day, meticulously applying her signature dot-style painting. This commitment to her art has led to a stunning collection that is now on display.
Upon her arrival in Vietnam, Hess’s work took on a new dimension as she incorporated vibrant local colors into her creations. The paper sculptures, carefully cut and assembled, come to life as dynamic art pieces suspended from the ceiling. The harmonies composed and performed by Eligoulachvili further enhance the exhibit, adding a layer of emotional depth to the already stunning visual display.

Speaking to Tuoi Tre News, Hess shared the symbolic meaning behind her artwork. Each dot on the kites represents a wish, and she hopes that these wishes will take flight and come true. This adds a layer of depth and sentiment to the already enchanting exhibition.
The live piano performance by Raphael Eligoulachvili enhances the overall experience. As the melodies fill the colorful gallery, attendees find themselves transported to a dreamlike world, reminiscent of the iconic films by Japan’s Studio Ghibli. Known for their artistic style and global impact on animation, the studio’s influence adds a touch of magic to the event.
‘Color Box’ is part of the Villa Saigon program, which fosters artistic dialogue between France and Vietnam. Through this initiative, artists with French nationality or residency, working in contemporary art across various disciplines, receive support and a platform to showcase their talents.
The exhibition is currently open to the public and will be on display until September 14 at IDECAF, located at 28 Le Thanh Ton Street, Ben Nghe Ward, District 1. It promises to be a captivating and memorable experience for all who attend.
