Taste In Memory

Taste in Memory explores how food carries memory, identity, and a sense of belonging across time and distance. Drawing from my migration from Myanmar to Malaysia and the United States, I recreate familiar dishes in porcelain as a way to preserve fleeting experiences. These foods, once tied to survival and comfort, are transformed into fragile, permanent forms. The delicacy of porcelain reflects the instability of memory and the vulnerability of displacement. Surface details and textures evoke sensory recollections, especially taste and smell, that cannot be physically retained.
