Nghi Hoang is a Vietnamese-Chinese freelance 2D animator, comic artist, and illustrator. They came to Toronto in 2018 and enrolled in the Experimental Animation program at OCAD U in 2021.As a Vietnamese-Chinese, Nghi Hoang has had a hard time defining their cultural identity and their own identity, especially when they left their homeland and came to Toronto in 2018. Leaving Vietnam with many overlapping fears has created a complex emotional turmoil that is difficult for them to explain to anyone because these topics are philosophical and nuanced, related to attachment, death, and the afterlife. Nghi Hoang is not discouraged; they gradually exploit their fears, find the root of the obsession that is difficult to let go of, and find an explanation through their belief in Buddhism by creating digital illustrations, comics, and 2D animation. Limited in terms of materials used in their works, Nghi Hoang focuses on expressing details that act as easter eggs and integrating personal thoughts and their views on religious beliefs but does not simply make it a story about themselves. These internal struggles can be seen in their comic works such as "one more" and "fish." Most works have an open ending because Nghi Hoang believes that an open ending is the only way to talk about the uncertain future, which everyone has thought about at least once, including facing trauma and the fear of death. The world in the works Nghi created helps them live with trauma, make it a part of themselves, and hope to find kindred spirits.
