Thuyen Xuan | Design of Tet tea packaging set

Inspired by the Cai Rang floating market in Can Tho, the painting "Spring Boat" recreates the rhythm of life on the waterways of Southern Vietnam in the days leading up to Tet (Lunar New Year), when boats are bustling, their holds full of produce, and the spring atmosphere permeates every wave. The gentle water becomes the thread that guides the story, leading viewers into a scene that is both familiar and vibrant with life.

The image of the boat carrying fruits, flowers, and Tet gifts evokes abundance, prosperity, and the enduring spirit of hard work in the Southwestern region of Vietnam. The soft lines of the waves, the warm red hues, and the vibrant yellow tones blend together, conveying wishes for good fortune, prosperity, and a smooth start to the new year. "Spring Boat" is not just an illustration, but also a cultural slice of Vietnamese river life, retold through contemporary design language.
