Un-commissioned | New Talent

Why did you make this work:
I did this series of illustrations for my exchange course project on creating something that represents yourself. I want to discuss this topic by introducing my family's Chinese New Year reunion dinner because food is the best choice for me to take a look at my culture also represent me as well.

How was the illustration used:
Some illustrations on the menu from Chinese restaurants in the UK inspired me, like stereotypically traditional decorations and the introductions of dishes.

How did you make this work:
I connect those dishes with people who not only build a relationship with me by teaching me their recipes but also affect me profoundly. The food I cooked is a unique way of expressing my love to them. Meanwhile, it also reflects who I am, with my unique memory, experience, and self- identification.
