The Table Dreams Far From Home

"The Table Dreams Far From Home" is an exploration of immigrant culture, diaspora, and mixed cultural households through food and related objects.

“Growing up in a mixed-cultural (Dutch/Indonesian) household, foods and tableware from both cultures were a common sight for me. The European tableware, Indonesian batik fabrics, and foods used in these images express this cultural hybridity through the shared human language of food.”
