You Are What You Eat
An Exploration of Asian Identity Through Cuisine
As an independent study, I spent the course of 6 weeks delving deeper into the cultural history and my personal connection with two dishes dear to my childhood.
These 3 artifacts are a culmination of the themes drawn from my experiences with these traditional Chinese dishes and reflections on my identity as a hyphenated Asian, or more specifically an American-Born Chinese (ABC).
Polymer Clay Serving Bowl
Inspired by my personal experiences drawn from Fuzhou Red Fermented Glutinous Wine Mee Sua.
Themes: Reunion, Growth, Adaptability
Mooncake Mold Imprints
Inspired by my personal experiences drawn from Mooncakes.
Themes: Reunion, Duality (in Eastern & Western identities),
