The book is designed in an oversized 8.25" x 11" format, which I absolutely adore. Its bold, chunky layout evokes a childlike sense of wonder, reminding me of the magic of opening a book for the very first time. It's available in Kindle eBook, paperback, and hardcover editions. Additionally, art prints inspired by the book's pages are offered in a variety of sizes and materials.

What does Bright Water mean?

Bright Water is a visual storytelling project where artworks serve as backgrounds, characters, and objects. Bright Water is also an artwork in itself, exploring scale and staging through the mediums of print and photography to tell cryptic, open-ended narratives across three off-the-canvas bodies of work: Cinderella Far East, Virgin Mermaid, and QUAI THAI. Yet to me, Bright Water is the journey of a mermaid defying currents and streams, only to discover she was not born of the ocean but from the craters of mountains and sky. Among my art, I remember: Bright Water is my salvaged stream of consciousness, the river of thoughts within me, and the meaning of my name, Hà Minh.
