In this photo editorial and interview, we delve into the vibrant world of artist Loan Chabanol, whose multifaceted creations bridge Paris and Los Angeles. Loan’s work, including her "Cotton Candy" series, reflects a deep connection to her diverse heritage and personal experiences.

Our conversation explores how her Vietnamese roots and artistic evolution shape her creative vision.

Join KAAREM on Thursday, Sept. 5th, from 5-8pm to view Loan Chabanol's "Cotton Candy" series created to inspire change and evolution.

We found inspiration from the Thuỷ Triều Mango tree, which was named by the local people because it's widely grown on the edge of Thuỷ Triều lagoon in Cam Ranh Bay.As a perennial plant, the tree grows strongly in sunny, windy, and sandy areas, with few storms due to the shelter of the bay, and has overcome many droughts to continue to bear abundant fruit. Therefore, the fruit always has the rich sweetness of the sea and the bright yellow color of the sun when ripeMore than 100 years ago, the French came to Vietnam and brought with them mangos originating from India. From then, they're sprouted and developed over time. Up to now, Thuy Trieu Mango is considered a natural fruit, but is rarely developed commercially, becoming a small gift to share with friends and neighbors.

The Ho Chi Minh City Museum of Fine Arts is a favorite place to take refuge from neverending hustle of Saigon. It’s a melding of Art Deco, French Colonial, and auspicious symbolism that is somehow minimal and to the point. Every time I visit, I notice a new-to-me detail that pours into my design thinking.
Introducing the Lunar New Year 2024 collection. The blue sky is full of flying swallows, signaling the return of spring, bringing with it warm rays of sunlight and sprouting buds.

‘A Room of One’s Own’ by Thy Trần + Trang Đoàn featuring Chân Mày was both filmed and screened in the same room at Que Upstairs in Saigon. Images captured by Đạt Vu from an offline screening of Kaarem’s SS20 video on July 15th.
A video by Thy Tran and Trang Doan. ‘A Room of One’s Own’ creates space to engage in dialogue with oneself—a necessary space of reflection. To be able to call a corner of the world one’s own, even if it may be just a small section of a room; to arrange things to one’s liking, which only becomes disorderly by one’s own doing is a pleasure. In this space, Chân Mày sits with their favorite things: a glass of wine, a green pomelo, a taro colored outfit and a white terrazzo bench. The room itself becomes a physical representation of one’s dreams; a quiet and safe space to sit in contemplation; enjoying the simplicity of singular gestures and the passing of time.
