ENGLISH VERSION
Touched by Absence is a portrait of what lingers when presence fades. The face, softly cloaked in deep violet and shadows, carries the imprint of something once felt—now gone, but not forgotten.
The brushstrokes sweep across the eyes like echoes—subtle, tender, unresolved. It is not grief that remains, but a quiet acknowledgment. Absence becomes a presence in itself, wrapping the form like memory wraps a moment: fleeting, but real.
Poised atop a clear perfume bottle, the sculpture becomes a vessel for what cannot be held—only remembered.
BẢN TIẾNG VIỆT
Touched by Absence là chân dung của những gì còn sót lại khi sự hiện diện đã rời đi. Khuôn mặt được phủ sắc tím trầm và những bóng mờ nhẹ – mang theo dấu vết của một điều gì đó từng chạm tới, giờ không còn, nhưng chưa từng biến mất.
Những vệt cọ lướt qua đôi mắt như âm vang – mơ hồ, dịu dàng, chưa kịp nói hết. Không phải nỗi buồn ở lại, mà là sự thừa nhận lặng lẽ. Vắng mặt, trong tác phẩm này, trở thành một hiện diện – như ký ức bao lấy một khoảnh khắc: thoáng qua, nhưng thật.
Tựa trên một chai nước hoa trong suốt, tác phẩm trở thành chiếc bình chứa điều không thể giữ – chỉ có thể nhớ.

Where Unspoken Stories Are Told Through Scent
1. Introduction
Not every story needs words.
Not every feeling finds its way out through speech.
Some things we've held onto for a long time –
softly, silently, without anyone knowing.
But they’ve always been there.
Story Project was born from a simple, genuine need:
to be told – but not loudly.
Here, we don’t use words to tell stories.
We use scent, visuals, sound, and space…
to listen to what has never been named.
2. Purpose
Story Project is a creative branch dedicated to personal, emotional, and artistic explorations.
Here, we:
– Use scent as a form of storytelling.
– Carry out independent art projects where emotion is the core.
– Connect people through honest, unfiltered moments – no judgment, no embellishment.
3. What Makes It Different
There is no right or wrong.
No perfect characters.
Every project in Story Project begins from something deeply personal:
A sliver of emotion.
An untold fragment.
A story with no ending.
We don’t try to tell stories for others.
We simply create a space where you can tell yours – in your own way.
