The body of work that I’m currently developing is semi-autobiographical combining real-life experiences with fictional elements. Food is used as symbols for specific feelings representing memories that are surrounding them. Each painting when standing alone is its own scene and when viewed together create a larger narrative. My work is based on the concept of cultural memory, portraying what life used to be like in the past, and accepting the change in the present while hoping for a better future. The world that I depict has a surreal atmosphere where hybrid creatures live in a reality that is dreamlike. Bananas are alive in my work and each type has its own character and a different cooking method. Anchan is a portal that has the ability to access the past, present, and future simultaneously.
