This series explores the connections of food, ancestry, and experimentations with still-life. Food ties to identity in ways that celebrate culture, heritage, craft, and belonging. Using food as a subject takes the pressure off trying to be overly conceptual and instead it becomes about something familiar and approachable. It feels a bit like working on a still life, starting with something literal and letting the process shape what stands out. At the same time, food naturally connects to lineage, culture, and shared experience.
