Born and raised in a culture where a father is the most influential figure in the family, I got a lot of inspiration and motivation from my father. When I was a kid, he introduced me to various things based on his skills, one of which was drawing. He told me to distinguish between a hobby and a passion. “You can easily envision your future if you keep doing the things you are passionate about.,” he said.

Dinner Time
Why dinner time? Dinner is the best time for me and my family to have a conversation to end the day. In 2020, I started a journey to live alone, away from home. The first thought I get every time I wake up in the morning is What should I make for dinner? This video is an observation from everyday life, experimenting ingridients, multicutural meals, and hometown meals.

This drawing activity has helped me reflect on myself. I began categorizing prompts based on my daily routine. Through these routines, I confronted and gained a better understanding of myself.

Additionally, this activity reignited my childhood passion for drawing and evoked a strong sense of nostalgia regarding my relationship with my father.
